After you have had a chance to read over and revise your think piece draft (submitted as a comment to the Project 1, Execute blog post), you are ready to complete the assignment and create a blog post, which can be incorporated later into your portfolio. Follow the directions below from the assignment sheet to create your blog post on our OpenLab site before class on Thursday, Feb 18.

Archiving: Create a blog post on our OpenLab site with a catchy and engaging title with your byline. For example: Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum by Julius Caesar. In the body of your blog post, copy and paste your completed think piece essay from the previous module. Confirm that it is formatted correctly and it has a Works Cited list at the bottom with MLA formatted bibliographic entries for your quoted sources. Following your essay and works cited list, enter a horizontal line (from the tool palette). Then, write a 250-word reflection on how you wrote your think piece, the audiences that you are attempting to reach, and how the medium of online writing (blogging) shaped the way you wrote your think piece. Publish your blog post to complete the assignment. (due on Feb. 18)
