Second Day of PCA 111

Today in class you will develop your strengths and weaknesses blog entry into the first draft of an essay. I want you to consider some of the consequences of your strengths and your weaknesses. After brainstorming some ideas in your notebook, you are ready to develop your blog further. Write at least two new paragraphs on the consequences of your strengths and weaknesses. Write an introduction (or develop what you have written) in light of the new writing. Develop your conclusion. Proofread and edit for sentence construction, paragraph cohesiveness, and overall grammar, punctuation, and flow.

First Day of [Blank] Class

Welcome to Metropolitan College of New York American Urban Studies and our first day of Self-Assessment through Writing and Technology. Today we will be introduced to the course and will begin the semester by creating a blog.

We will be using http://www.blogspot.com/. You must have a google account to create a blog with blogspot.com. Once you have created your google account and blog, create your first New Post. Create a Title for your New Post and then spend 15 to 20 minutes free writing on the following:

My strengths are...
My weaknesses are...

If you finish the prompts before the allotted time, go back and edit your writing so that it is logically sound, grammatically correct, and flows within the conventions of proper sentence and paragraph structure.
