What to write about:
• For each journal, write about any business communications-related topic that catches your attention. This could be a current event you see/hear on the news, a fact/skill you learned in a class, a problem you face, or simply a question that arises.
o (Tip: Jot down a note in your Reminders app or Notes when you recognize an intriguing idea. Whether in or out of the classroom, look for ideas from conversations, gatherings, viewings and broadcasts. Then you can investigate it later and more thoroughly for one of your journal entries.)
• Conduct research on your topic (at least one credible source). I don’t expect any hard research done on an entry.
• Title: Write a blog title that effectively points at a main issue in the topic.
• Byline: “Source: Name of Source Linked ”
o The source notation can be the name of the book, magazine, news organization, or source. Hyperlink the name as such — Pew Research Center — if link is available.
• Body: In your post, write about your impressions and interest about the topic. Each journal entry may be relaxed and off-the-cuff, but the writing style is not. The journal is an awareness – developing tool, but do not compromise on GSP. One point off for each punctuation error, misspelling, and junk sentence.
