English 71... Begin blogging.

This is not a formal assignment; just an online tool to take the place of the old spiral notebook, or to go way back, the learning log.

You know this course requires four formal writing assignments; it also requires writing your own online journal--300 words a week--but also reading your classmates' blogs on a weekly basis.

Blogs emphasize in my mind anyway the playfulness of language, color, photos, visuals but unlike Fb always more words and reflection.

Good luck and remember to have fun. You don't have to use your real name and if you hate this assignment, you can destroy it at the end of the course. As Steven D. Krause once wrote (and it's his fault that I was introduced to blogs) "Nobody likes to write blogs." Blah!
