Blog Posts #2 and #3

Hey guys,

Before next week’s class on Tuesday, October 29, you guys have two blog posts due but don’t worry they shouldn’t be too difficult.  The instructions for both posts are below.

Blog Post #2

For this assignment, you must post a link to your New York Times “Front Page” you’ve developed in your seminar AND explain why the group selected the items that are included reflecting on how/why these selections best express the most salient issues/concerns during their first semester at Baruch.

Blog Post #3

After completing your Focus 2 assessment, post your action plan onto the blog site and answer the following prompts below:
a. “What have you learned about yourself through your self-assessments and how has this affected your choice of major and career goals?”
b. “How do these results reflect a change from what you expected or planned for yourself previously?”
c. “How did participating in FOCUS 2 help you clarify a future direction for yourself?”

Remember to post these into two separate blog posts. I’ll see you guys next Tuesday.

Blog Post #1

Hey guys,

The description for the assignment is already up on Blackboard but I’m posting it here again for you with the addition of a due date of September 16 at 11:59 p.m. Make sure to submit your work before the deadline.

Create a two minute video, an eight image slideshow, or a ten song musical playlist that represents who you think you are to your classmates. Embed your creation in a blog post and then write no more than 500 words that explains how what you’ve created speaks to who you are. Here are some free tools that you can use for this assignment, but you are free to use whatever services you like:
