Student Blog Assignments

There's a lot I will need to say about the role blogging plays in my classes, but as a kind of placeholder here, I will quickly list the different types of blogging assignments the students complete. I'll update this post with links to detailed posts about each of these assignments as I write them up. I started with a write-up of the Favorite Places post — first things first!

Orientation Week: During this week, the students are doing some posts to help them get comfortable with blogging:

• Favorite Places post 
• Storytelling post - instructions here
