Blog Post #5: Clarifications

Class,

The prompt for Blog Post #5 is in the Blog Assignment document on Moodle - Week 2.

However, here are a few additional clarifications:

1. For this prompt, please analyze posts from outside blogs rather than peer blogs. Good places to start include John Palfrey's blog and danah boyd's blog as well as Digital Natives and jill/txt.

2. The posts can be relevant to ANY topic within your inquiry area so long as both posts address similar topics (privacy, safety, piracy, social networking, etc)

3. In your analysis, you should use rhetorical terms (ethos, pathos, tone, etc).
