This quarter, you are still going to keep writing in your blog. I have noticed many grammar and spelling errors in blogs. I suggest writing in Word and then posting it into your blog when you are done.

Why are we still writing in the blog? Our blogs enable us to:

• produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience
• write routinely over shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two) for a range of tasks and purposes
• express ideas, analyze texts, and develop your writing skills

If you haven't looked at the assignment sheet to see the full requirements, please do! It is included with the Blog Assignment. In a nutshell though, here is what I look for in your posts:

• are written in your own personal style/voice
• are engaging
• are informative, persuasive, and/or reflective (depending on type of post)
• are well organized
• are free of grammatical/typographical errors (compositional risks are an exception
