Using a Blog as a Writer's Notebook
So here is the plan for the year: just about every day you come in to class (or maybe every other day) we will spend some time in class blogging. Some days we will be writing 'off the cuff,' and other days we will be responding to a prompt. Think of this blog as a writer's notebook, so feel free to share your thoughts and ideas and to experiment with a variety of writing styles, various perspectives, different voices, and the like. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!LABELS/TAGS: Please Do Now, reflection, writer's notebook
