The second blog assignment is due on Tuesday, March 10. It is worth 3% of your grade in this class.
The assignment is to read the two required articles and one that you find on your own or that you choose out of the two I showed you could choose from.
In one or more posts, write this about each of the three articles:
1. The title of the article
2. The name of the author
3. What the article is about and what you learned from the
article
4. How the topic/information in the article relates to you
5. Whether or not you like the article and why
It is a good idea to copy this list and paste it into a new blog post to work from because you will not be able to see old posts while you write a new one (or you can just duplicate the screen). That way you are sure to include all required information in your post.
For your convenience, here are the articles in the assignment:
Read the following two required articles. Make sure to use the reading strategies in your Reading Strategy Checklist as you read them!
