TEI 3/8/17

Unit Project • 3 Life histories encoded • Response paper – • Based on all of the hard work you have done creating metadata and marking up the Life Histories, you will write a critical reflection corresponding to the blog genre that explains the significance of the rhetorical choices that you made in this process. While this is a reflective piece, you should still have a clear thesis that is supported by evidence generated from your experience by citing specific examples that you tackled. • Word count = 600 -900 words

What to encode in the body of LH • Mark beginning of body • Locations • Dates • Occupations • Page numbers • Marginalia • Other editorial marks

Beginning of body of text • <body> • Close it at the end </body)

Page numbers • <pb n=1/>

Alternate page numbers (the big number) <note type="typed" place="centered below">3710</note></add>

Locations My brother left town and went to Philadelphia <geo. Decl><certainty degree="0. 5">39. 962717, -75. 166797</certainty></geo. Decl> and he's still there

Changed Name • Use this only if the body used the person’s changed name instead of their real name <changedname>Mrtyle</changedname> left the room suddenly.

Occupation • "I make pretty good, I reckon, considering what some of the other <occupation>cooks</occupation> make here.

Dates This was in <date>1916</date> • If given more than year, needs to be written in the form: • YYYY-MM-DD he died <date when="1924 -03 -21">March 21 st</date>, and she's buried there on the same place where she was born.

Marginalia • All marginalia should be tagged nearest its original location in the text using the following example as model. The highlighted information will be unique to the life history you are encoding. <add> <note type="handwritten" place="right of header"> good. </note> <add> <note type="handwritten" place="upper right corner"> NC-21 </note> </add> • Quotation marks designate some explanation of an element and usually preceded by equals sign =“handwritten”

Handwritten notes <add> <note type="handwritten" place="in margins above first column">Names Changed </note> </add>

Correction • <del type="crossout">there</del> <add> <note type="typed" place="above">street</note></add>

Punctuation issues • Some punctuation is actually code, so we have to avoid it. • We can only use periods and commas without marking them For example, what time is it? what time is it <pc>? </pc>
