Music to their Ears

Tip: Expound in your journal blog first. Look for that assignment to the right.

Process Essay

In a process essay, you explain how something works or how to do or make something. Your challenge is to write clearly and completely so that readers can easily follow the explanation. To do that, you must have a thorough understanding of your subject.

Because this essay is 500-700 words in length, choose a subject a little more encompassing than "making a PB &J." Try to broaden the topic to making lunch, maybe. Also, don't be afraid to have fun with this assignment. Instead of "How To Get a Date" try "How To Ensure Never Getting on a Second Date." Perhaps instead of writing about the typical steps of changing the oil, you might want to add the real steps that often result in pain, frustration, and cursing.

Because of the humorous content and slight informality, you may use "you."

Your Blog

It is time for you to create a blog if you don't have one already. This isn't too difficult. Take your time and ask your neighbor about adding widgets and other elements. Have fun with this.

Now because you HAVE to have an assignment or you'll get bored quickly, you need to add a brief summary of the book you read for this class.

Also, add a list of song titles/artists you like. These can be in a separate widget or post. Create the page how you want, but make in look nice and have some order.

You also need to find a quote to place under your title as I did.

Also, fill out the profile section.

One more item: find a buddy and learn how to post a comment to each other's site.

Add your blog's name in the comment area, so all can view.
