Abstract

The purpose of this project was to explore and document one approach for integrating social media--Facebook, really--into freshman writing. The assignment using Facebook was first given in 2006 and twice more through 2009. Our report on the project takes the form of a network; the content is distributed across the wall, info, and notes sections of the narrator profile, The Facebook Papers, as well as across the pages of all of the authors. ["The Facebook Papers" was written with Cade Holmes, Ellen Porter, Corey Saucier, and Tiffany Swearingen.]
