Criticism
Team members : Bill Hickox - Well I thought I better grab a color before all the cool colors were taken. By the way wikispace is teaching me to hate. I have been trying to figure this out for an hour and I am worse off than when I started. When I started I had hope. I lost the hope somewhere between wiki and blog. Qs- What am I suppose to read and respond to? Where do I respond? I need a wiki/blog tutor! Super I left this message 40 minutes ago and it would seem that I did not press save. I hate it! Chelsea Musil - Just trying out the wiki. I'll use a blue font. Robyn Tierney

__**Advertising:**__ Since criticism has a different focus than creative writing, we should try to figure out ways of advertising to target people who might not necessarily be interested in literature, but would be interested in writing critical essays (or multimedia critical works). I think where we advertise will have a huge effect on what kind of submissions we'll have to choose from, so we should try to come up with as many varied sources as we can. We'll need to decide what kinds of things we want to include later, but for now I think having a wider variety of submissions is better than not.

Here is what we have thought of so far - I've bolded the ones I've taken care of - add as you think of more & bold as you put up flyers

Critical writing/comp/rhetoric classes Philosophy club/classes - may be interested in writing criticism Gender & Sexuality Resource Center/Stonewall if it is still running, **community GLBT center**, **AVEN** - potential queer theory essays Women's studies classes/F.R.E.E. (feminist club - is this club still running?) Zuhl & Branson libraries, maybe also public library? Journalism building - maybe get advertisement on college radio station? Coas (**by farmer's market** and on Solano), **Spirit winds**, **Milagro's, The Mix**, **International Delights newsstand**, Starbucks

__**Scope:**__ What do we want to include? What do we NOT want to include?

Kinds of criticism: -Literary criticism -Pop culture criticism -Rhetorical criticism

Do we want to add book reviews?

-podcasts, videos, multimedia in addition to standard essays -interactive criticism page maybe? possibly put up images where readers are allowed to add comments -- I'm envisioning them showing up as little pins on the image that can be expanded to read what others wrote, like the pins on google maps
