Background Blog

Here's What You Need to Know To Write Your First Real Blog--

Subject: Background Information

Purpose: To explain the basics about your topic clearly-- the history of the issue, why it's of concern or interest, who's involved and why, etc.  In this blog I want you to anticipate questions that the other students in class will have about the background of your topic and address as many of the questions as possible.

Audience: The other students in class.

Sources: You must use two reputable sources.  List your two sources at the end in correct MLA format- use easybib.com OR "The OWL at Purdue" to review MLA formatting if necessary

Other Requirements: At least one page in length (type in Word and copy and paste), spell checked, correct conventions

Please Note--

Blogs turned in past the week's due date will not receive a grade. HOWEVER, in order for the next blog(s) to count, you must make up the missed blog. In other words, if you don't complete this blog on time then you must complete it before next weeks will count.

You will be graded based on:
3.2.c - Address audience needs and anticipate audience questions or misunderstandings.
3.3.a - Conventions.
