Hello everyone! Nice to see you all today. This week's unit focuses on comparison essays, which look at similarities or differences between two things, places, or people. For today's post, I'd like you to compare your life now with your life 5 years ago. How has your life changed since then? How have you changed? I imagine for most of you, your life is very different now. I know mine is in many ways. I look forward to reading your posts.
Good luck!

A Funny Thing Happened....
Hello class! Nice to see all of you today. This week we're focusing on narrative essays, which is really just telling a story. So, for your blog post today, you should think about the past week or so and tell us something funny/sad/interesting/good that happened to you recently. Remember that blog writing is more about getting your ideas down rather than formal grammar and punctuation!
Also, don't forget to "Publish" your post when you're done. Take some time afterwards to read your classmates' posts and respond in the "Comment" section.
Good luck!

Hello and Welcome to Blogger
Hi everyone! It was nice to meet all of you this morning. We have a small class today, but hopefully next week we will have a full class up and running.
As part of our writing class, we will create blogs and write in them weekly. Blogging is informal writing, similar to a journal. The focus is not about grammar or organization but about expressing your ideas in writing. In this way, you can work on improving your writing skills without worrying about perfect form.
Your first post will answer this question:
Where would you most like to live and why?
After you have finished your post, remember to publish it so that we can all read it. You can read your classmates' post and write comments as well. Your blog writing and responses will be part of your final grade.
Good luck!
