Report and write your first post. You now have your mission statement. Time to get started.

For this first post, you will find and interview a person who is doing something interesting related to your blog’s mission – or you will cover an event related to your blog’s topic, interviewing at least two people for the event post.

The key to this assignment is doing your own original reporting.

You will write a blog post – 400 words.

You will include at least three hyperlinks.

You will take a photo to illustrate your post.

You will post your story (with photo) to our class blog by class time on Thursday, March 3.

You will write an engaging headline that clearly states what the post is about.

Do not write in first- or second-person. Focus on writing engaging copy.
