What is a blog?
Entry (or post) written in an informal and appealing manner, often of educational nature, on a specific topic.
As part of this assignment, you are being asked to create a blog post entry that could be published on the PWI blog (TBC), using available empirical evidence to support your claims (including at least one reading from the module).
The PWI blog aims to model itself on blogs such as The Conversation , a website where academics share their expertise in a way that is accessible to the general public.
Some important elements
Title: Provide an engaging title – your readers need to be hooked!
Format:
Type the blog post in a Word document, inserting figures where appropriate.
Use short paragraphs, even bullet points to make your case.
Use subheadings if necessary to keep your readers hooked.
If you are using embedded links to signpost your reader to more information, ensure that these are accessible in the document.
Figures: Insert 1-2 figures to make your blog visually appealing.
Length: 1,000 words (excluding references – you will need to provide those)
Audience: general public, so make it catchy!
