Last Post!

Everyone,

I truly appreciate your hard work with these blog posts all semester! There has been some truly powerful writing in these responses. Often, the level of insights and analysis is much higher than in the papers. Sometimes, it helps to relax and simply respond. Overthinking can cause writer's block.

For your last post, I want you to tell me how you have achieved or not achieved the Course Competencies:

1. Practice writing as a recursive process.
2. Practice reading as an active part of the writing process.
3. Apply the rules of Standard English grammar.
4. Investigate research resources where/when available.
5. Recognize standard documentation form.

This post should be reflexive.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to your posts!

Argument!

For this blog, please focus on the topic you want to use for your brochure.

What are you arguing? In this space, write what you know about your topic.

Explain its relevance to society and why people should "care" about the topic you have chosen. What do you know about the counter-arguments? What are the pros and cons?

The semester is almost over!
