Here is the blogging assignment -

A blog is an on-line journal, or a place to share your thoughts with others. You are going to create a blog in class today. I will show you how.

Then, from now until the end of the term you are to 1) post a minimum of one entry per week to your own blog, and 2) read other people's blogs and 3) make two comments per week on someone else's blog. That's it. If you do that, I will give you 100% for this assignment, which will be worth 5% of your writing grade.

You can write about anything that interests you, post pictures or discuss interesting things you have found on-line. Anything. It's YOUR blog.

There is only one rule - Don't copy and paste things from other websites to avoid writing anything of your own. If you do find something interesting from another site that you want to share, make sure that you write an introduction telling your blogmates why you found this interesting and why you wanted to share it.

The objective of this assignment is to get to know each other better, to have fun and to learn to use writing to communicate in a casual, informal way.

To get you started today, maybe you would like to post the paragraphs you have been working on. Or look through the entries in my blog and see if anything there sparks your interest. How about the issue of Lucy the Elephant?
