Its been real, its been fun.. But it hasn't been real fun! ;)
Oh just kidding! I've actually enjoyed sharing my thoughts with the few people who read my blog! I like blogging in general. It feels good to write down my opinions and be given feedback and responses. I feel as though I took the blogging thing completely serious. I always wrote down everything I had on my mind about the topics I was given to write about. I tried my best to make it appealing to others! Can I say I learned anything? I think I learned that rhetoric is extremely important when it comes to writing. I wouldn't want anyone to get bored! You have to spice it up a little!! As an assignment for an English class, I think this was a great idea! I think it really puts a cherry on top of the rhetoric idea. I learned how to add my own tone and voice into my writing. Blogging is like practice and the essays are the big game!
Professor Chris, I must say, thanks for making me blog. To me blogging was homework without feeling like homework. I never really dreaded doing a blog and that's awesome! I liked that I could express myself and not have to feel super professional. Suggestions I might have.. Maybe make things more interesting with some sort of contest. Students might get more into blogging if there is an incentive. For example: The person with the most comments on their blog or the person with the most blog views gets some extra credit! Just and idea! Regardless, I liked blogging!(:
Byeeeeeeeeee!
Thanks for the honest, thoughtful feedback, Cierra. I am glad to hear you both enjoyed the blog project AND learned something! That is what it is all about. You did very well with this project. Your voice is confident and endearing, and your content is thoughtful and engaging. You are good at this. Keep writing. And thanks for the suggestion. Gamification of blogs may very well be a future update to the project!
