Your blog must be up and running by now and your Story-in-a-box posted. In many cases the story is written as one block of text, no headers, etc. Let's now change the appearance of our story to feature the following:
Introductory paragraph: explain in abstract form what will follow. "This story is about..."
Then some white space.
Then a title
Story-in-a-box (new line)
title of your story
Then create paragraphs. Most students have about one to one and a half pages of text. Break it up into five to six paragraphs.
How does it look now? Turn to your classmates and get their critique.

Homework for next week: peruse the LEO website and select a topic that interests you. Find the same or a similar topic at the University of Ottawa link. Study it and create a blog post with examples of the topic. Be prepared to show all of us what you posted, and explain what you learned about your "problem" topic. Please note: We will start at 6PM next week, not at five PM. Same location one hour later (due to my work in the Twin Cities until 4PM).
Please be sure to post the homework at all times. When I ask you to pick a topic from LEO, you are expected to peruse the topics, read many of the offerings, and pick what you may need for your personal improvement. Then you have to post that choice and the reason why you picked it on your blog.
