What to blog? That is the question.

The use of blogging responses in English 12 is a clever and creative idea to share thoughts and feelings on particular topics. Personally, I would like to use blogging to respond to open ended questions. Reviewing classmates responses on open questions can give insight into their own thoughts and opinions that otherwise would not be known. These questions allow the writer to be innovative with their ideas and reply in a variety of ways. The concept of people presenting random thought provoking questions is alluring and it would keep topics interesting. I would be interested to write on controversial subjects, world news stories, as well as random "what would you be?" questions. For these assignments, I would prefer to be marked and critiqued on each individual post. This way feedback would be given on each style of writing and the student's style of writing could therefore be improved.
