Breaking the Ice

FIRST!!!1!

This blog is where you will post your preliminary research essay for your classmates to read. It should take the form and style of an academic paper, even though it will show up here as a blog post. Make sure your Works Cited appears at the end of the post. Title your post with the title for your paper. Your name should be the first thing that appears in the body of your post, before you begin your actual paper, so everyone knows who wrote what. Finally, add labels for your post. Think of labels as the keywords (or main elements) in your prelim essay. If everyone uses keywords (like movie, sexism, Facebook, race) then you'll all be able to search by label to read posts you may be most interested in. Everybody wins!
