Assignment

  • Write a blog post on your chosen topic. It should provide a window into the part of pop culture that you're covering and do so in a unique way that brings your own experiences, perspectives, and interests into the topic.

Make sure your opening is really good.  You must grab your reader's interest in the first few sentences. Try to include images, hyperlinks, and/or videos of examples you're discussing, or links to articles/topics you're referencing.
