Compose a post using either formal/high or informal/low diction in which you discuss something that happened to you this week. You have complete freedom in your choice of topic: write about whatever you like...just write it in either formal or informal diction. Use your notes on diction to be sure you're doing justice to the level of diction you've chosen. For example, if you are choosing formal diction you would not use contractions anywhere in your post.
Your post should reflect a thorough knowledge of what formal or informal diction is as well as the effect an author achieves by choosing the respective level of diction.
Your post should be at least two paragraphs in length and be understandable...not every word needs to be polysyllabic or slang. Make sure that I can understand the story you are telling!

I just posted this today, because my computer finally let me sign in. I emailed you my entry for this blog last Friday.
