The Assignment

This is what we are here to do:

Group On-Line Literature Project Criteria

In the three-person groups set in the critical theory assignment, complete an on-line literary engagement with fanfiction. The objective of the assignment is demonstration of familiarity with and critical understanding of literature in the online medium.

• There are two sections, each worth ten percent of the course grade, for a total assignment grade of twenty percent.
• The due dates for the two sections are chosen by the group, with three weeks at minimum between the two dates.
• Each section will work hands-on with an aspect of fanfiction. Some alternatives are:

1. a blog on an existing fanfiction
2. a fanfiction creation of the group's own
3. a Second-Life project
4. a critical-theory essay or manifesto

Select from the course list of fanfiction sites or research a choice of your own.

Each section assumes 10% of the course grading effort for each group member.

Hand in a hard-copy proposal for the full project (both sections) by February 4th.
