Guidance for 'Snow Day'

The snow day throws us off of our course schedule, but it doesn't mean we can get behind. Therefore, I wanted to provide you with the materials you need to be prepared for Tuesday's class.

First, be sure to drop Assignment 1 (beat assignment) into the dropbox I created before the end of the day (Thursday). Once you receive my feedback (which I will send electronically), you are ready to move forward with your assignments for next week. 

Before Tuesday's class, you should:

• Review the Blogger tutorial from D2L.
• Create a Blogger blog, using my handout and Assignment 2 (both on D2L) as your guides.
• E-mail me when this is done (before class). 
• Read the first two chapters in Elements of Journalism
• Write your first reading summary (due in class)

You also will have your first quiz on Tuesday. This will be about the syllabus and items from the blog so far. 

Finally, I have posted on D2L your first blog assignment. You cannot complete this until you've done Assignments 1 and 2 and received my feedback. However, you can start thinking about your approach and read my blog post on writing the About page.

I hope this helps prepare you for next week. Stay safe!
