This Blog lists a variety of award winning profile essays that you may be interested in checking out as you write your own.

The New Yorker

The New Yorker is a magazine that has a variety of essays and articles that directly pertain to topics we will be writing about and discussing this semester including Profiles and Talk of the Town pieces.

We will use blogs to reflect on the reading, writing, and discussion we do in class this semester. Details of blog requirements can be found on the course website under assignments then blogs. Additionally, use your blog space to pose any questions relating to English 280 that you want to share with your classmates and me, any interesting or helpful class related items you come across, and to respond and communicate with your peers. Be sure to write not only on your own blogs, but on your classmates as well. Blogs should create a conversation outside of the walls of our classroom. In addition, be sure to take advantage of the affordances blogs have to offer. Use hyper links to link to material on other places of the web and put images, video, and any thing else available to you in your blog posts. Most importantly, have fun blogging!
