Chapter 9 Blog – Magazines

1. Choose a quote that inspires or intrigues you from the appropriate chapter in the textbook, and display it at the top of your post = 4 points

“Given the costs of paper, printing, and postage, and the flexibility of the web, mobile devices, and social media, magazines are increasingly being distributed across multiple formats” (283).

2. Write at least two substantive paragraphs of personal reflection about (or inspired by) that quote. = 10 points

DO NOT tell us what the quote means.
DO tell us why you chose it.
DO NOT tell us that you chose your quote “because it’s true.” Be more thoughtful and creative than that.
DO tell us why it called to you, and how it relates to your own experience.
DO NOT write just two or three sentences and call it a paragraph. Make them substantial, with topic sentences and supporting sentences. Just like in English class.
DO format your entry properly, with full paragraphs and visible paragraph breaks between them at appropriate and logical places within the context of your blog.
3. Comment substantively (at least four sentences), in a way that moves the discussion forward, on at least two of your fellow classmates blog posts. Start your post with a greeting such as, “Hi, _______” and use your classmates’ name (required).
