Good morning friends,
Assignment #20 is a quick and easy one. In fact, you have a class expert on this one, Melissa figured out how to do this and helped me out!
1. First, go to my account on photobucket.
2. Next, find your SOLE group's video (or videos).
3. When you run your mouse over the thumbnail (small) image of your video, a small menu will pop up.
4. Click on the "HTML" code window. This will automatically copy the code (which will copy the video to your blog) to your clipboard.
5. Come back to your blog and open a New Post.
6. Go into the Edit HTML tab on your New Post and paste down the code (right click and select "Paste").
7. Go back to the "Compose" tab on your New Post and write three things (in full sentences!) you want your viewers to notice about your video, create a title and post.
8. Now, comment on this post and let me know that Assignment #20 is done.
9. Tah-dah! Another assignment done and ready for your Oshawa buddy to watch and comment on! Congratulations.

Assignment #5 - Island Man: Work With It
Today in class, you were introduced to the poem, Island Man. I want you to work with the poem on your blog.
Copy the text of the poem to a new post on your own blog. Link to this post. Select the 10 most important words in the poem (in your opinion) and put them in italics. Select two photos or images from the Internet and embed them in the poem at appropriate places.
Finally, answer the question: "Where would you most like to wake up?" (answer in at least 5 lines describing where you would like to wake up and your reasoning)
Here is the poem:
Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who still wakes up the sound of the sea)
by Grace Nichols
Morning
and island man wakes up
to the sound of blue surf
in his head
the steady breaking and wombing
wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island
He always comes back
groggily groggily
comes back to sands
of a grey metallic soar
to a surge of wheels
to dull North Circular roar
muffling muffling
his crumpled pillow waves
island man heaves himself
another London day
For a bonus, practice reading the poem aloud. Do you read it the same as I did? Differently? You may be asked to perform it in class. We still have more work to do with this one!
Here is one reader's interpretation of Island Man.
Does this look familiar?
