You need at least two posts on topics related to your career goals and portfolio topic for your submission of Project 2. You wrote one on Monday, 2/8.

For your second post, choose one of the topics below, or choose a relevant topic of your own:

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 or educational legislation.
