the blog about the blog!!!!

Well the blogs weren't my strong point in this class because more often than not I would forget to do them! However, I think they are kind of a fun way to express your ideas on topics and get some feed back. Overall i think they're a good idea to have. But maybe instead of having them as an actual assignment that can count against you just give the student an extra point for doing it. That way if students choose to be lazy they just dont get the extra points instead of it counting against you. I probably think this way just because i did every other one:)

revision strategies

I liked the one where we read the stories out loud better. Not only do the other students write down their own comments, but I realize more mistakes when I read it out loud too. I think when you read it out loud its a lot easier to pick up on mistakes. The other one is effective too but i think its pretty easy to look past your own mistakes. And you might think you have all the appropriate parts when you actually don't, just simply because its your own writing.
