This right here is an example of a blog post. Ain't it cool? It's a lot like an open diary to the whole internet.
For the purposes of this assignment, as I have explained to you in class, you will be asked to blog a minimum of twice per week, on two separate days each week.
Bloggers write about nearly anything--politics, music, celebrity gossip, or personal philosophy--anything that they feel their readers might be interested in reading about.
For the purposes of this assignment, however, I want you to concentrate on making your blog post originate from a thought that came to you during my class. This means that your post should begin with a reference to something we are studying: a theme, a literary term, a selection we've read, or an assignment. In fact, your very first blog should probably be a reflection of this assignment itself: How do you feel about your new blog and the necessity to update it twice a week?
However, after you begin a post about something that has come up in class, feel free to connect this concept to something outside of class or school. You may connect the concept to current events, sports, or even your life at home.
Have fun with it! And remember: the entire internet is watching, not just me and your friends! Write for an audience, revise your posts before hitting the "publish" button, and be sure to write twice per week.
