Extra Credit

Here's another opportunity for extra credit, in the form of 1% being added on to your final grade percentage at the end of the quarter. It may not seem like much, but it could be the difference between a B+ and an A-.

For the point, you must go to a blog that accepts submissions. I'll provide a few link examples- you are welcome to use one you already read, or something else you happen upon. Read a few pages and determine what kind of content they accept, then write your own. It must be at least 500 words to get the points. Type it up and post it to your blog, including a link to the blog you are writing in response to. If you feel brave, submit your piece to the blog for the publication- if you get it published before the end of the quarter (yes, I know- out of your hands on the timing, but none the less) send me an email with the link to the post showing your work and you'll get more extra credit.

A few fun examples that I know I get a kick out of sometimes: (and the sort of thing I'm looking for, so this should hopefully be a fun potential assignment)
