Assignment: Online Journal of Into The Wild
Class: Sports & Recreation Management
You will be creating a blog that will be used throughout the semester as an online journal. You will be writing the blog (journal) from the point of view of Chris McCandless, the main character in the book, Into The Wild. You will be required to post 6 total blog postings. Four will be in response to questions that I have given you. Again, you will write these posts as if you are Chris McCandless. You will write the last 2 as yourself: one will be a blog post comparing/contrasting your views on leisure versus Chris’ and one will be a blog post comparing/contrasting the book and the movie.
1) Go to www.blogger.com and click on the arrow labeled “Create your blog now.” It is located under “Create a blog in 3 easy steps.”
2) The first step asks you to create an account. You may set up this account using any valid email address (fpu account) or you can use an existing Google account (gmail).
3) The second step asks you to name your blog. Here you will create a title for your blog and an address (url) for your blog. You can input anything you want; later on in the semester as you read further into the book you will be editing this information. This will make more sense later.
4) The third step asks you to choose a template for your blog. Choose any template you want for now because you will be editing this later in the semester.
5) Once your blog is created, email me the url. detjenk@fpc.edu
6) Because the goal of this assignment is to create an online journal as Chris Mccandless, as you read more of the book and get a better understanding of who Chris is you can edit the blog as you wish. You can edit the title of the blog, description of the blog, template of the blog, etc. Your final edited blog is due December X.

Well designed course. I particularly like the way you sum up the objectives of the course in the last paragraph.
