Weekend Homework

My group and I believe our writing has been affected dramatically by the use of blogs. We understand the importance of correct grammar online and how to use spellcheck, along with many other cool graphics to use when blogging. To show the improvement of our class' writing, we would distinguish a post where the whole class responded to a post by Ms. Lambard because it shows we pay attention and we know to use grammar on the blog. We think using correct capitalization and punctuation is important when blogging because it helps us to practice using good grammar when online, and we need to maintain that for when we write on paper. Current Events have become more understandable to us through the blog. We can get instant feedback from our classmates about things that are happening around the world, which makes us all feel connected. Our favorite current event was posted about life in Israel, posted by our new student from there. It was interesting to learn the cultures of a country so far away. Posting shouldn't be a requirement, but everyone should realize the importance of blogging and how it helps bring our classroom more educated and technologically advanced. It can be really fun to blog!
