Title your post. See title of this post and/or blogging guidelines for help. Number your required Pop Culture Journal posts.
Align your journal text to the left. Begin
your post by giving the reader enough information to follow your
thoughts. Be sure to include the title of the reading/video that you
are responding to, the author of the work (if known), and a hyperlink to
the original online source. Don't summarize the whole article; just
give a brief two or three sentence summary of the topic and main points
of the article. If the reader wants more information, they can follow
the hyperlink to the article itself.
Double-space between paragraphs.
Compose a thoughtful, well-written response to the reading/video. If
the topic and approach aren't already assigned, see the blogging
guidelines for suggestions. Once you've finished sharing your thoughts,
invite your readers to join the conversation. You might do this by
posting specific questions that you're interested in discussing or you
might just invite them to check out the article and ask them to share
their opinions.
Add labels, then preview your post before you publish it..
Look for errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Whether you
think it's fair or not, readers often judge your credibility on a
subject or the validity of your ideas by how well you present them.
Don't undermine the effectiveness of your writing with obvious errors in
standard written English. Proofread!
Corrections made? Publish! That's it. Your insights are now there for the world -- or at least your classmates and me -- to see. Good luck!
