Assignment Two STAHLEY

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/

This week's assignment has changed. Too much is going on right in your hometown. In order to see the "Blog" in action, click on either the link above, or the title "Assignment two STAHLEY" to view the NYTimes Political analyst team's blog about the Democratic National Convention.

The news here is huge. It is happening 20 minutes away from most of your homes. Some of you are even going to be a part of this page in history. I want to hear your thoughts on a once in a lifetime experience.

All you have to do this week is this: Scan the link of the NYTimes Blog. Scan closely. There are hundreds of Blogs, posted by the minute as the reporters are sitting in your very own Pepsi Center. Choose 2 that interest you. You may want to focus on a particular speech, speaker or even celebrity appearance. You may want to look at two different aspects. Either way, you will choose two blogs, and react to them. Your reactions will vary.

After you have reacted to two bloggers from the NYTimes, you will construct your own blog about your experience so far with the DNC. It may even say that you have not paid any attention. I hope this isn't the case, but if it is, tell us why!

3 Parts, 30 pts. Post everything as a "New Blog." Use the format in the "title" portion, First Name, Last Name, DNC Post Two. The assignment is due Sunday, Aug. 31 at 11:59 pm so you can watch and react to any portion of the DNC. Please share any and all thoughts about a piece of history.
