Blog 8 and the extra credit blog

Your assignment for blog 8 is to post your personal essay (unless you have made other arrangements with me).
Your assignment for the extra credit blog is to read at least ten of your classmates' personal essays and write a response that is approximately 400 words.

Blog 8 and 8.5

For blog 8 you will post your personal essay to your blog. For bog 8.5 *(extra credit) you will read and respond to at least ten other classmates' personal essays on your blog.  This extra credit blog will be similar to earlier blogs when you read and responded to classmates' blogs.

The 8.5 blog will be worth 12.5 points.  Any points you earn will first be applied to the overall blog points, then (if there are extra points) to another area of the class where you are missing points.

Let me know if you have questions.

Blog 7

For this week's blog, please list a series of possible personal essay subjects.  You should write about 5-7 subjects, and they should each be about a paragraph (75-100 words) long.  Please reference your class notes from Monday, May 9 for more information.

Blog 6

For this blog, I want you to write about the peer review (workshop) process.  Write about being reviewed and being a reviewer, about the good and the bad.

The due date for this blog isn't until Wednesday, May 11 at midnight, since some of you won't be workshopped until Wednesday.
