Question: What should be the word choice, level of language, and tone considering your audience and purpose?

Since your blog is a work in progress and your audience includes your peers, your tone may be more informal. However, you're also trying to explore topics and works from units 1 and 2 so use correct literary terminology to show that you understand the material. Here are some other things to keep in mind:

Include an effective title that tells your reader what your post is about and encourages them to read further. Don't just call your post: Blog Post #1.

Write in well-developed sentences and paragraphs. Your paragraphs help group your ideas and make it easier for the reader to understand what you're trying to say. That doesn't mean you can't ever have one-sentence paragraphs, but if you make that choice, be sure you're doing it for a specific reason. You may choose to use a one-sentence paragraph for emphasis. Or you may choose a sentence fragment to add a sense of excitement or drama to a post.

This is a more informal style of writing so feel free to inject your personality into the writing. Humour is more than welcome; however, be respectful of your peers and the learning environment. Word choice may include some slang, but it should not be offensive. Be respectful of the diversity of your audience and consider how certain word choices may affect individuals.

Blogging should invite feedback; therefore, keep your level of language informal and conversational. Write in first person.
You should include images, links, tags, headings and other multimedia.
