Choose a bullet point from page 324 of the textbook Connect that bulleted idea to one of the assigned readings or another you have explored Discuss how the text or the visual rhetoric has romanticized (glamorized, idealized, sentimentalized) the farm These movements are referred to with the terms “back to” and “return to”; reference an earlier era they are romanticizing and decide if this movement will be successful based on what you have learned.

Grading: Grading will be based on the same rubric as posts on your blog. You should develop original, complex ideas that go beyond surface reading (we’ve all read the same thing, so a simple review is not what I’m looking for). Introduce fresh material, This may require additional research. Each post should be written as a complete thought. Identify your topic Narrow the topic by telling your audience your point of view on a specific point Show your audience what you mean by offering evidence Conclude A good test of whether or not it is a complete thought is if you can remove it from the discussion and have it still make sense Responses to classmates’ posts should always have a “because” clause Use appropriate netiquette.
