Blog Articles
Directions
Write a short (2-4 short paragraphs) and interesting blog article about something you observed or happened to you that relates to your career.
For example, if you want to go into marketing and you saw an interesting Nike advertisement on the side of the bus on your way to school, you could write your thoughts about the advertisement and what you thought about it while including things like the content, design, placement of the ad, and your personal opinions and reactions.
Your blog article should have something interesting about yourself and how you are seeing and living life as it relates to your career either directly or indirectly. Add humor from your perspective to keep it interesting for the reader.
Length
The length of your article needs to fit the same vertical distance as your left sidebar gadgets (make sure you have the correct gadgets). See the example below and notice how the length fits the sidebar gadget height.
Pictures
Insert 1-2 pictures or videos into your blog article that relates to the subject. Wrap the text around the photo as shown below and be sure to choose an appropriate size for the image that matches well.
Tag
Add the tag articles to the post. Make sure this is the article that shows on your Blogger home page and delete any blank articles you may have added when you first made blogger (you may need to change the publish date to a more recent date if it is not). After you write an article, ask any two students to comment on your article before the final project is due.
Take a screenshot of the blogger article and post to posterous.

Overview
For example, if you chose marketing, you could focus your articles on critiquing magazine advertisements and giving your suggestions. If your career is to be an elementary teacher, you could write strategies on new teaching methods using technology for children. Be creative and unique in your articles and remember that future employers may read these articles, which gives you the opportunity to show your knowledge and opinions.
Article Writing
When you write an article, it should be broken into small paragraphs with a total of at least ten total sentences. Include at least one wrapped image in your article related to the topic.
