Student Blogs
Today in Academic Writing 3 students created t a VCU blog. This writing space will be used for journal assignments during the course of the semester. The blog plus the Discussion Board on our class Blackboard will provide spaces for regular writing. These writing assignments are for developing fluency. The assignments will mainly be responses to readings.
This the first time I have asked students to create a blog and using it for the practice of writing. By the end of the semester I should be able to evaluate the students' interest in writing a blog and the effect it has on their writing.
