Phase Two - Your Topic

Phase Two for your blog project is due Wednesday, February 20th by 11:59 p.m. To submit this blog phase, you need to log into your blogger account and create a new post by clicking on the orange box with a pencil icon (located next to the title of your blog on your Dashboard page).

As you publish each new post, remember that your blog is public. Anyone on the internet can find it and read it. Therefore, keep your writing polished and professional, knowing that you have an audience.

For Phase Two you will introduce your classmates to your topic. I want you to use HACC's library website and databases to search for your topic instead of a typical Google search. Remember, it must be a documented issue, problem, or controversy within your field of study and ultimately narrowed and focused to keep the research and report manageable. This issue, problem, or controversy should be an issue that professionals and tradesmen in your field are currently discussing and attempting to solve.

Once you locate your topic, your post should answer all of the following questions.

1. What is your topic and how did you learn of this issue, problem, or controversy?
2. Why are you interested in this topic?
3. How do you think researching this topic could help you on the job?
4. What do you already know about the topic?
5. What do hope to learn about the topic?
6. Who is a potential audience that could be interested in your following your blog as you research this topic?

Make sure your post is published by the deadline because I will only guarantee feedback for those posts that are submitted on-time. Before completing the next phase of your blog you will want to read the comments I have left on your post because my feedback could affect your next research move.

I'm looking forward to seeing your first post!
