JAN 31 Unity Consciousness
¸
Up till now in the course we have often focused on various
details we have seen in nature. That approach is sometimes called stofftrieb. Now we will turn more consciously to formtrieb: the
idea of unity in the variety. We will consider how each medium communicates the
idea of the whole which has no truly isolated or entirely individual parts,
only local symptoms or
manifestations. This idea has been variously described as a web of mutual interdependency, or a special
harmonious unity, balance, or equilibrium achieved in an ecosystem not by leveling the forces of
diversity but by promoting them.

Feb 26 FIRST PROJECT DUE*
on web page AND on paper
¸
Post First Project on web and hand in polished hard
copy in pocket folder with name on outside following instructions in the
anthology. Paper projects must include two media. This requirement is usually
met by inserting electronic files of pictures or photographs into your text and
printing the result on a glossy paper with a color printer. [Electronic
projects include print-out of the HTML code as well as text -- and Cd or
diskette, etc. if the project is to be put on our web site]
¸
Begin commenting on the stories of others. You must
respond to at least ten people in detail (at least six sentences), suggesting
what they might add to make their story longer or their web site better, what
other changes to make, etc. You get extra credit for every three people over
the basic ten to whom you respond. This extra credit can be used to improve
your class participation grade.
¸
Finish commenting on essays of others outside of class.
¸
Save comments on diskette for your portfolio.
ü
*You must include pictures in this assignment. The
purpose of the pictures was for you to become acquainted with the integration
of verbal and visual rhetoric that has become common in the field these days
and to gain some practical experience in preparing a brochure. Pay special
attention to 19A-19K Effective
Visual Design
ü
Make sure to identify or title all pictures and make
them big enough (3X5?) by using Adobe Photoshop or some equivalent program.
ü
Remember that, given a focus on nature (non-human
plants or animals), you have a lot of options, including writing a traditional
lit. crit. essay about some example(s) of the literature of nature.
ü
If you do an essay, it is to be at least 4-6 pages.
However, you are to understand that on the projects you are graded on quality,
not quantity.
ü
To get an A in nature essay writing you will need to
show that you are good at communicating details, at making your plant or animal
come alive for the reader. For example, even if you never heard of a catfish
before, the details in Perry’s description on p. 505, enable you to see what one looks like and how one behaves.
(If you do a web page, of course, you can communicate these details often by
pictures.)
ü
Thirdly, as suggested in most definitions of the grade
of A, such as that on p. 26 of
your anthology, you will need to go beyond the ordinary, in the quality of your
prose, and/or in the quality of your insights.

*In this project aim specifically at increasing your
unity consciousness, as illustrated by Brooke’s web page, listed under
Portfolios in Exemplary Web pages on our course web site.
ü
You do not need to include pictures this time if you do
not want to do so. (The purpose of the pictures was for you to become
acquainted with the integration of verbal and visual rhetoric that has become
common in the field these days and to gain some practical experience in
preparing a brochure.)
ü
If you do include pictures, make sure to identify or
title all pictures and make them big enough (3X5?) by using Adobe Photoshop or
some equivalent program.
ü
Remember that, given a focus on nature (non-human plants
or animals), you have a lot of options, including writing a traditional lit.
crit. essay about some example(s) of the literature of nature.
ü
If you do an essay, it is to be the same size: 4-6
pages. However, you are to understand that on the projects you are graded on
quality, not quantity.
ü
If you add on to your web site, you need 2-3 pages of
new text to make an A, unless you make creative HTML changes such as the
addition of sound.
ü
To get an A in your writing, whether in the essay or
web format, you will need, first of all, to avoid the problems cited in the
first two project drafts, especially those I stressed on the second draft.
ü
Secondly, to get an A on this essay you will need to
demonstrate unity. Read pp. 58-9 Carefully.
ü
Thirdly, as suggested in most definitions of the grade
of A, such as that on p. 26 of
your anthology, you will need to go beyond the ordinary, in the quality of your
prose, and/or in the quality of your insights.

Grades: To get a B on the portfolio you need to meet all the basic requirements perfectly,
including table of contents and page numbering.
ü
Grades: to get a straight A on the paper portfolio you need to go beyond that
to an achievement in visual rhetoric. Think of this as a portfolio you will be
taking to a nature-writing magazine, seeking employment in competition with
many others. You would be well advised to have it all typed in one way or
another, perfectly proofread, illustrated, etc. and very professional in
appearance. Pay special attention to 19A-19K Effective
Visual Design and 58-9 on unity
¨
Grades: to get a straight A on a web portfolio the requirements are much the
same, translated into web terminology. For a good example of how to include all
your journal entries in a web portfolio see Lisa’s site. Some other
complete portfolios are Katy’s and Kristina’s. Many of the other others
are incomplete portfolios in that they handed in the paper version of the
journal separately.
