Last Blog: Summer B

For your last blog, I would like you to draft a one-paragraph proposal for the formal analytical report. Try to decide in this paragraph whether or not you want to do a research paper or a newsletter.  When you have your idea, think how the four contexts of use (ethical, physical, economic, and political) might influence your paper's topic. Name your document's purpose---inform, persuade, report, resolve, etc.---, and make a plan of action, detailing how will you begin and complete this assignment.  To receive full credit, I must see the following items mentioned in your blog:
(1)You have decided to do a research paper or a newsletter.
(2)Pick two of the contexts of use and apply their relevancy to your topic.
(3)Name your document's purpose.
(4)With at least three sentences, detail your plan of action for completing this assignment.
Good luck! It's been fun reading your blogs, and I look forward to reading this one.

Blog III and IV (Summer B)


This blog posting is worth double points.  I strongly suggest you take the time to do it well.  For this posting, you must look to the future.  You have completed your education, and now you must find a job of some kind.  To get full points, you must answer the following questions: (1) What’s your dream job is and how you plan to apply (are you going to consult the paper, jobsearch.com, or some other source?); (2) What are your salary expectations? (3) How you plan to dress for the interview?  (4) Suppose the interviewer asks you what your greatest weakness is.  What would be your response to that question? You must write at least two paragraphs to receive full credit for this assignment.
