Assignment

Write a WEB BLOG.

This is also known as a place where people post an online diary. A public blog may be read by anyone who comes across it. Sometimes blogs are basically just rants, and other times they revolve around a theme.

For this assignment, imagine that computers and the Internet existed in Ancient Rome. Write a blog post of 3 pages, with multiple entries.

Write the blog in first person (making use of I, me, and my when composing), as if you are actually living in the time period.

Some ideas are:

· Take a specific issue, explain it, and give your opinion about it.

· Select a person living in the time period and give your opinion about that person's ideas (such as someone would today regarding various politicians).

DO NOT WRITE A BIOGRAPHY!

· Discuss the problems and/or privileges of being in a specific social class of the time.

Whatever you decide to write about, do not forget to answer the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHEN, WHERE, WHY, AND HOW of the topic.

Always assume the reader knows nothing of the topic.

Compose critical analysis of historical developments, incorporating originality of expression, a command of the English language, and proper syntax, proper punctuation, and proper grammar usage.
