A blog can be both a research log and a tool for reflection. A blog is not a simple journal or writing online. To blog well you need link, to connect ideas, to make your thinking transparent about those ideas. As Bud Hunt says, "To blog well, a student needs to be able to summarize. To analyze. To contextualize. To synthesize." If your posts reach to these heights, we will have a rich publication.
The blogging requirement for the next five weeks is that you write a minimum of three posts a week. Your first post will be the hardest--it will determine your grade for this marking period. Each post should be a couple or more paragraphs long--nothing too scary, right?
