Discuss weekly blog posts

Your weekly blog post

These are things you need to have in mind when you write. You have all week to be thinking about this, and to be working on it during your daily writing time.

1. A good piece of writing needs to have a purpose–this might be to make the reader laugh or to record an important insight or to make a point–but without a purpose there will be no way to organize the writing, or to know how to begin or to know when to stop. Reading it will tend to be a waste of time.
2. It needs to be interesting. It is always a writer’s responsibility to be interesting.
3. It needs to be at least 400 words long.
4. It should show evidence of reflection about what is happening in the course. You can refer to insights from the readings or from the class discussions.
5. It needs to be written in standard English, including complete sentences, no run-on sentences, correct capitalization, and correct use of apostrophes. It should be spell checked.
