Coming up, Part 2

1. You need to complete your News Analysis (see sidebar for a link to the assignment description under "Coming up"); this should be 2-3 FULL pages, with appropriate MLA citations and a Work Cited. Due: Wednesday.

2. Also due on Wednesday (or by the end of this week): a blog posting: your NA thesis statement and a link to your article. This will create a nice collection of readings for your classmates. You might have trouble posting the very first time. Here are some directions to follow:

First of all, you should have already created and sent me a gmail login. I have responded to every message that I received, which means that you should have gotten an invitation (sent to your gmail). Just follow the link.

When you arrive at this site, look in the righthand corner for a link that says "Sign in." Do that. Use the login and password you created for gmail.

Signing in should lead you to a "Dashboard." Once there, you should see our blog: Writing as History. Under our blog name are several options. Choose "New Post."

*Very important: don't choose "Create a Blog" in the corner; if you do that, you'll create your own site, and you won't be writing on our site at all.

After you've clicked on "New Post," you'll arrive at a screen that looks a little like an e-mail screen. There's a title box and a message box. Just fill these in, and make sure you sign your name.

Choose "Publish Post" to make it appear on our blog.
