Making Your Travel Blog Available etc.

Hey all, I've been looking at and commenting on the blogs that I have access to and I've noticed some things. First, not all of you have sent me the link to your blog, so I can't see it to comment. Do that right away. Second, the blogs from C Block that I have looked at seem to be missing most of the Day 1 material required on the rubric and which I would have thought you accomplished during class yesterday, at least in part. Remember that EACH DAY you need 4-6 images, 500 words of reflection (either shared or done on alternate days) plus accounting for meals, lodging, gasoline, and ongoing budget. The "random hardships" are challenges for your journey, AND they are sources of experience you should be posting about on your blog. So don't get behind or you'll find yourself with too much to do at any one sitting. If you need to, check in with me about what I'm seeing on your Blog. Day 2 is upon us!

A Common Space

Welcome! English I meets either C or D block, and sometimes wonderful things happen once that never return. This page is not only a place where you can find the syllabus, handouts, links and so forth, it is also a place where conversations can continue after class and between sections! When from time to time I assign a posting, be sure to take time to read what other people have said, both inside and outside your block. Respond with a name that we recognize—no anonymous postings please— in a way that reflects your individual meeting with text or with the issue, and which is respectful of what has come before and welcomes further conversation. Be sure to read the previous posts, too, so that you are part of a whole and not simply a voice without context. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say about the class this year!
