MUSC685--how to post your Chapter responses

This is a brief instruction for you to complete your chapter reading assignment:
  1. On your word document, just write an essay for each question and separate citations for each question. In other words, we're making each question a topic for an indepedent essay. Remember that as long as it makes sense, it doesn't need to be long. I appreciate cohesive writing that demonstrates insightful reflection.
  2. So now, how are we going to make it work on the blog? I tried mine and found that we can easily make labels of our postings. So, it'll make sense if we create the labels for each of the topics, i.e., History, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Curriculum, and Technology, we'll go over this semester first. And then we can post think this is what we do on the blog. There you will see a little box "Label Actions." Click on the label actions and Go to New Post and then click on "Edit Posts," under "Apply Label" click on "New Label. " From there, please create the following labels: Introduction, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Curriculum, and Technology. As the semester goes, we can categorize our postings according to these labels we set up.
  3. For example, for the first chapter reading assignment, you will have seperate postings for each of the questions I ask. Before you publish your post, label it as History. So, by the time you finish posting these six questions, there should be six entries under the History label.

Please let me know if you have any questions/problems making it work.
