Write the Repurposed Article by revising/editing/writing the work

Prompt:
This semester, you’ll be writing two articles to publish on LinkedIn’s publishing platform and
share via your LinkedIn Profile and Twitter. The first one will be a “repurposed” article. As you
saw in the LinkedIn Learning course Publishing on LinkedIn for College Students and Young
Professionals , “repurposing” means taking coursework and reworking it (essays, paper, etc.) or
writing about it (projects) so that it fits the blogging platform/style of a longform article on
LinkedIn.
Steps:
• Re-watch the chapter titled “Taking writing assignments and cross-posting” in the course to
refresh your memory on what you might use for this article.
• Chose an old assignment/project to rework or write about. The article itself must be non-fiction.
You can write about a creative assignment/work you did for another course, but the Repurposed
Article itself can’t be poetry or a short story or excerpt from a longer fictional work.
• Write the Repurposed Article by revising/editing/writing the work to meet the following
requirements:
o Revised for clarity, flow, and for a conversational tone more suited to a blog, the
LinkedIn publishing platform, and your new, specific audience (read through some
examples to get a feel)
o Edited to a level ready for public consumption/publication and that gives a professional
impression
o Compelling headline that is clear and concise but not clickbait
o At least one engaging image that is either your own image or curated from an open access
or creative commons source
o Has proper attributions for any outside sources or references used/made
