You will write a 1 - 1 and ½ page double spaced informal and personal blog post on an issue that is in some way relevant to your field of study and that you have personal experience with. Like an essay, a blog post establishes and develops a clear point about a topic or issue.

Depending on the topic, audience, and purpose, a blog can be formal or informal. A blog written by an individual, for example, tends to be about his or her experience with the topic and is written in first person.

Imagine for this assignment that you have created your own blog site and that you are writing a post for your blog site. This specific blog post should establish a clear main point about your chosen topic, use your personal experience to develop that main point, and establish a connection with your audience through showing them how your experience might be of value in helping them in some way.

Assignment meets the following requirements:

Focuses on one specific point about the issue being written about

Uses personal experience to develop ideas, avoid research

Connects with the audience and establishes relevance of the topic to them

Demonstrates substantial revision of the Unit 4 DB post draft

Uses appropriate informal language, depending upon topic, audience and purpose

Is organized into 3-5 well developed paragraphs, 1 to 1 and ½ double spaced pages

Utilizes transition devices to connect ideas

Applies Standard American English and avoids distracting grammar and punctuation errors

Demonstrates 6th Edition APA formatting, including title page

Cites any and all use of source information (quotes, ideas, paraphrases) both in the References page and in-text where the source is used

I have a rough draft of the blog, just need help with formating and maybe adding more fact or personnal experiance. I am a grandmother of a grandson who has down syndrome, we found out about the down syndrome late in my daughters pregnancy, so the only options she had where keeping the baby or adoption. Of course adoption was not an issue.

My Grandson so far has not had any medical difficulties since birth, he came early, and he had a problem regulating his oxygen levels, but he is fine now. He is 15 months old and does not crawl, has no interest in standing and does not say words. He has three teeth and full of energy. So far no one is worried about his progress. He has PT/OT and speech therapy once a week.
