Hello to anyone and everyone who still uses these blogs!
I'm trying to write the dreaded balance and comparison paper right now but sadly procrastination has yet again gotten the best of me. Dilpreet and I were talking about our essays and somehow the topic of last years blogs came up. We both feel that it would be really great if some students from last year's advanced english class would use the blogs again every once in a while; I think I speak for many when I say that the blogs are sorely missed. Also, it's a great place to be able to share our essays and get positive feedback without the negative comments from some pupils in our midst. If you see this, please leave a comment or a post!
This was quite awhile ago but COMMENT!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think if the classmates got together to form a support group, it would be awesome practice for college, and beyond. Good writers always use a support group of their closest, respected readers who will be honest with their criticism in order to improve their craft. If your classmates think it would be just for fun, maybe let them know there would be an academic benefit. LAst year they simply posted, and then did a lot of socializing through it. Do you think they have the right concept of what could be done with a blog to boost productivity and quality?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I'd love to chime in, for what it's worth, and I'll bet so would your teachers if they knew it was a serious way to work out edit and revision groups to improve writing, and not some different version of Facebook.
