Blogging Guidelines

Beginning in week 3, you will write a total of three blog entries per week. The entries are divided as follows:

One entry of no less than 250 words must respond to an assigned reading or topic. Remember: your blog will be more persuasive if you are very specific, use paraphrases or quotation, and provide hyperlinks.

One entry of no less than 250 words must comment on any topic; your instructor may ask you to focus on a particular subject throughout the semester.

One entry of any length, on any subject, or in response to other blogs you find and subscribe to, including those of fellow students.

Blog Topics: Click here to view some topics for blogging.

Blogging Instructions for using the community server: Click here (by C.R. Junkins).

Blog Viewer: Click on a link below to read a blog. (Right click to open in a new window, then click the "Back" button to return to the list.)

SummaryThe following schedule is tentative. I typically revise the schedule as we work through the semester. Activities that are listed in "In-class activities" that are not completed will generally be assigned as homework. Remember to hit "refresh" when you revist this page.

How do wikis and MS Word's track change tools enable writers to improve drafts? How can schools better prepare students for the collaborative work they will conduct in professional settings? What skills do student readers need to provide helpful feedback?

In this memo, I ask that you address these questions:

      • Did you revise Projects 1 and 2 again? If so, what changes did you make to these documents? I'm particularly eager to learn about the substantive, rhetorical changes you makde.
      • What did you learn about yourself as a writer?
      • What grade have you earned and why? For this effort, consider appeals to logos, ethos, and pathos.

Congratulations! We're done....Have a great summer--what's left of it.
