   » Project 2   Part 1 — last group task:

   • pro­duce col­lab­o­ra­tive “Prob­lem Emblem” for social-media account and for net­work circulation

     Cre­ate 1 orig­i­nal/composite image, to be cir­cu­lated
     — “rhetor­i­cal veloc­ity”: able to be remixed?
      
     — Apply “meme logic” stud­ied
     —— apply ideas from Exer­cise 3 (and “cul­tural relay/s” notes)
     —— explain ratio­nale (briefly) in Poet­ics (indi­vid­u­ally, for Part 2)
      

   • Group’s “logo” for Emer­A­gency con­sult­ing per­spec­tive? (mes­sage, per­spec­tive)
      
     — include, to some extent, this view…
     (ideas for how overt?)
     — include/feature prob­lem/issue in emblem, for net­work
     (for “par­tic­i­pa­tory civics,” “pub­lic ped­a­gogy,” pro­mot­ing engage­ment, etc…)
      

     → discuss/propose in class / group dis­cus­sion how best, and sev­eral ways, to do this col­lab­o­ra­tively
     (from all our study and your observations/insights thus far)
