12/18 Blog

Hello Sophomore Honors Students!

First, I would like to wish you all the best over break and into the new year. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of you in class so far this semester.

Second, I really appreciate all of your suggestions about things to do in class. Ironically enough, several of your ideas were in the works already. I guess great minds really do think alike.

Finally, I would like to give you your blog assignment over the break. This blog asks you to take a look at several other blogs out there. What you need to do is find a blog entry which appeals to you in some way. The topic is competely up to you. Blogspot actually has several blogs to browse through, and there are several other sites which maintain blogs. Copy the blog and post it to this site. Be sure to cite where you got the blog! Your assignment after that is to write a two-paragraph response to the ideas presented in the blog.

Be sure to write two full paragraphs of six-eight sentences each and to use formal language in your writing. In response to previous requests, I am now asking that your blog entries use fully correct language. Grammar and mechanics will now be part of your score.

This blog is due on January 2, 2006. (Wow, that date looks strange!)

Have a great break and come back well-rested!

-Mrs. Schafer-Cloke
