1.Go to Meez.com, or follow the link on the right of this screen.
2.Follow the directions at meez.com and create an avatar of yourself. You do not have to spend any money – simply use all of the free items to create your avatar. Be sure to include appearance, clothing, background, and animation. Be as realistic or creative as you would like!
3.When your avatar is complete, be sure to save it.
4.Click on the link at the top of the page that says "Avatars", then chose "Export Meez", then click on the link at the top of that page that says “Invite A Friend”.
5.Use this application to email your avatar to your instructor using the email on your syllabus. Please be sure to include your name and course section number (day and time your class meets) in the "Comments" section before sending (so I know who you are).
6.In addition, email your avatar to a friend or family member and invite them to give you their reaction to your avatar (i.e. is it true to who you are?).
7.Write a 1-page (12 pt. font, 1 inch margins, typewritten) response paper to this activity. Your response paper should draw on your readings about the presentation of self and communication as well as online communication. Your response should give specific examples from your avatar-creation process as well as your class readings and lecture.
8.Turn your response paper in at the start of class on the due date listed in the syllabus.
