Blog Assignment

You have three class periods in which to work on your blog. By next Wednesday, your blog should contain
5 blog posts.  Your blog should have 2 blog posts currently.  So you will be writing 3 new ones.  The topics are your choosing.  There is a list below of possible topics. Each post should be viewed as a mini essay so that your blog is multiple paragraphs rather than just a couple of sentences in length.

Also, you will need to make 3 responses to the blogs of some of your classmates. On Monday, we will give you the names of three classmates on whose blogs you will be asked to post responses to their posts. You can make these posts during Tuesday’s class.

Possible topics--

Summer reading
Books vs ebooks
