Weekly Blog Postings
Each week, you are required to visit the class blog (you may access the blog via the button below) and post a response to the question. In addition, you must comment on AT LEAST TWO of your classmates' posts. This is due each week by 9PM on Friday night. You are being graded on your PARTICIPATION ONLY, not on your language, so please feel free to experiment with new forms and vocabulary, relax, and express yourself. This is meant to be a casual, laid-back forum where we can get to know each other and share ideas - it is NOT meant to be a formal essay, so have fun!
