If Steve Ramsay says you have to build to be a digital humanist<\/a>, perhaps we should give it a try.<\/p>\n You will work in assigned groups to map the movements of characters in Virginia Woolf\u2019s Mrs. Dalloway<\/em>. Each group will use Google Earth to create a map of one character: Clarissa Dalloway, Elizabeth Dalloway, Peter Walsh, or Septimus Smith. You will have to read (and re-read) the sections discussing your character very closely.<\/p>\n Your group\u2019s map must include:<\/p>\n Please note, you must<\/strong> include credits \/ citation information for images, maps, and other objects that you do not create.<\/p>\n Maps will be evaluated on how well they meet the objectives outlined above, as well as clarity, creativity, organization, attention to detail, and design. You should experiment to make your maps as dynamic and innovative as possible. Use the software\u2019s capabilities to its fullest!<\/p>\n Any additions or edits made to maps on Google Earth must be saved in a file. If your group members work separately on mapping, you will need to combine all the map elements into one file before presenting to the class. Make sure files are saved in the \u201ckmz\u201d file format and named to indicate which group the map belongs to. Completed group maps should be emailed to me prior to class on Tuesday, 3 October<\/strong>. Your group is responsible for making sure your map is available and ready for presentation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Groups will present their maps in a 15-minute presentation on 3\u00a0or 5 October (so be ready to go on the 3rd)<\/strong>. Each group member must be involved in the presentation of the map<\/strong>. In the presentation you should discuss the interesting things you\u2019ve learned by mapping the novel. You should also report on patterns that your group has found. Your group will have to spend some time thinking about what patterns you are seeing and what they mean in relation to your character and the larger narrative.<\/p>\n Furthermore, each of you will individually<\/em> prepare a three- to four-page paper in which you reflect on the mapping assignment. Reflection papers must be emailed to me<\/strong> as PDFs before class begins on Thursday, October 5<\/strong>. Please name your file \u201clast name\u201d-dalloway.pdf<\/strong> (e.g., croxall-dalloway.pdf).<\/p>\n Some questions to consider in your reflections are:<\/p>\n Maps and networks will be evaluated on how well they meet the objectives outlined above, as well as clarity, creativity, organization, attention to detail, and design.<\/p>\n Presentations will be evaluated on its clarity, organization, your group\u2019s discussion of what you learned, and whether or not every member of the group participates in the presentation.<\/p>\n Your reflection paper will be evaluated on a pass\/fail basis, focusing on your thoughtful dialog about the project.<\/p>\n Liz Paul Shelbi Alex This assignment was inspired by an\u00a0assignment designed by Erin Sells<\/strong><\/a>. Dr. Sells was kind enough to share her assignment with me (under the terms of a Creative Commons license), and I\u2019ve adapted and expanded it for this class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rationale If Steve Ramsay says you have to build to be a digital humanist, perhaps we should give it a try.
