Blog Curation

You will be responsible for one reflective synthesis in which you read all of the blogs from the previous week and write a 400-500 reflection of them. Please make specific references to at least 3-4 individual posts AND discuss overall themes, questions, and concerns raised in all of the posts. Additionally, you can address how the activities and conversation in class complicated, resolved, and/or addressed the various issues raised in the blog posts. You will complete your post independently within three weeks, following your seminar presentation!

Please use this sample as your model!
