You will write at least two posts on topics related to your career goals and portfolio topic for your submission of Project 2. You will write some additional posts for your portfolio revision for the final.
You can choose relevant topics of your own, but if you need some ideas, here are some prompts you can respond to:
Prompt 1: Choose a concept that is important to your career focus. Define it and talk about why it’s important. Examples:
- A creative writer might talk about beauty, rhyme, or plot.
- A technical writer might talk about audience, honesty (as in ethics), or clarity.
- A journalist might talk about accuracy, propaganda, or citizen journalism.
- A teacher might talk about education, book banning, or the common core.
Prompt 2: Respond to something you have read or seen recently that relates to your career focus. Examples:
- A creative writer might respond to an interview with a writer on NPR.
- A technical writer might talk about super (or horrible) documentation she’s recently read.
- A journalist might talk about bias or privacy related to a recent news story.
- A teacher might write about a classroom story in the news.
