Writing Assignment #2

Please complete this for Thursday.

Write the opening article for your blog. Length can be whatever you think is appropriate to provide essential background and explain your plans for the blog. Try to be persuasive; you are selling your blog in an attempt to attract readers.

Some guidelines:
• Begin with a "lead" that you think will grab attention.
• Explain your personal involvement with the subject matter.
• Make a case, with evidence, for this issue being important.
• Outline the kinds of news that will appear on the blog.
• Spell check your work (Firefox has this feature built in) & proofread it yourself.
• Have someone else read it for clarity.
• Read it out loud for sound & imagery.
• Try to say things your way = development of personal style.
