As with most things in my class, there is no set deadline for the completions of these blog posts other than the end of the semester. However, I will be going through your blogs and entering grades for these posts on Friday, 11/30. Any 0s given are not permanent, just a reminder to complete the posts.
Blog Post 4: Writing Reflection
- Log into Google Drive and open your 'blog posts' Google doc that you have been copying and pasting blog posts from.
- Open up your Odyssey/Locke Humanities paper. Click 'File' -> 'Publish to the web'. Then click 'Start publishing.' Yes, you're sure you want to publish this document. Then, copy the 'Document link' NOT THE EMBED CODE and paste this link into your blog posts Google doc. You'll need it later. Click 'Close' on the menu still open on your Humanities paper.
- HINT: If you're lost on how to do this, ask three people for help before you ask me. Yes, I will ask you which of your classmates you asked for help.

- Copy and paste a section of your Humanities paper that you are proud of - it can be any section of your paper - into your blog post. Explain to the readers of your blog what part of the paper they are reading. Then, write several sentences explaining why you are proud of this piece of your paper.
- For example: looked a long time and found great evidence, went to office hours and got help with the topic sentences, rewrote this section of analysis five times and it turned out really well.
- Below this, write, "My entire paper can be found here." Embed the link to your published to the web paper (you did this in direction #2 above) at the word 'here.'
- HINT: You need to have copied the entire text of your blog post in your Google doc into a new blog post. Then, double click on the word 'here.' Look for the icon that says 'Link' at the top of your new post in Blogger.
