DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR CONFERENCES to discuss Project #3:

As you have realized, Project 3 is not like reading a paper and checking for grammar. You are looking at visual, audio and text based modes. Not only is Project #3 a new experience for you, but also your classmates. Already you guys have confessed that you feel apprehensive, anxious and flat out scared about this project. Be Critical, but kind. Look out for each other.

Here is how Peer Review will work for P3:

• Upload your genres to your P3 page. Make sure you are meeting the Nov. 8 minimums (for example, 25 photos if you are crafting an Instagram genre, 25 Tweets if you are crafting a Twitter genre, etc).

• Go to Canvas/People and find your P3 Group. I have reassigned some groups.

• Copy and paste the link to your P3 page to a Word document and upload it to your Group Files page before 11:59pm 11/8.

• Go to Canvas and upload the link to your P3 page to (3) Genres Peer Review Assignment before 11:59pm 11/8.

• Review the Peer Review Sheet and answer the questions. Upload your responses for each person in your group before Friday 11/10 at 11:59 pm.

As all of you know, Canvas is not a perfect system, so give yourself the time to upload and make sure everything has been uploaded correctly so your teammates do not have to track you down and so I do not have to apply the late penalty.

Common Errors in Project #3:

• Not meeting the genre minimums. If you are confused to what they are, check out our Class Wix P3 and scroll to the bottom of the page.

• Using All The Colors on your Infographics: Like Wix pages, stick to a simple color scheme of white, black and a splash of color. Too much color can be distracting from your message.

• Not giving yourself enough time to complete the project: Genres slapped together the night before look slapped together.

• Accidentally designing a graphic in Canva which is not free: You won't be able to share your design if you accidentally design a graphic that is not free. If you find yourself in that situation, sorry for your luck because you will have to redesign it.

• Not editing your videos: turning on a camera and letting it run is not making a movie. Ask anyone in FSU's film school if you do not believe me. iMovie and Windows Movie are available at the FSU libraries and the Digital Studio if you do not already have these programs.

• Not promoting your genres: This is a major part of your grade. As soon as your genres are complete, it is your job to promote them by targeting your specific audience. Procrastinating promotion to the last week of classes will not result in a good grade for you.

• Not sharing with friends: As soon as your genres are built, you can begin your promotion plan. This is a project for a class, but you selected the research question based on something which interests you. Therefore, not wanting to share on personal social media accounts because you "don't want to spam your friends" is not a viable excuse. Spamming is when someone posts the same message repeatedly on social media. Spamming is when the messages come 30 messages at a time clogging up a person's timeline. When students tell me they don't want to "spam their friends" what they are really saying is "I didn't want my friends thinking I cared", and that's ridiculous. Also, don't apologize before posting your genres. Your work is valid.

• Not being willing to edit when asked: If a peer review person tells you that your video is 4 minutes long, and the requirement is no longer than 3 minuted, and you are not willing to edit, that is an issue. Compositions are never perfect.
