MACUL Journal Articles

Today you will begin brainstorming and drafting an article to write to MACUL, a technology journal. Click on this link http://www.macul.org/site/files/student_corne.pdf and read what types of articles MACUL is accepting.

It is important that you pick a FOCUS (or thesis for your article). Then you have to explain your position and give good details to back up your focus. I will only consider WELL-WRITTEN articles to send on to the journal for publication. I expect high-quality writing. Choose a topic that is meaningful to you!
