As an integral part of the ENGL140 writing program, students are expected to create and write an online blog. Each week, they must complete at least 4 separate blog entries of a minimum of 100 words each which are written on 4 different days.
The blog entries should not be a diary of events around students, but should reflect the experiences and processes which they are going through in ENGL140. In other words, instead of describing events that happen, students must describe the strategies and grammar they are learning in class and what they think about them. They must summarize and review what they are learning in class and provide clear, full-sentence examples of them in your own words. They must not use the Blog as a forum to simply complain about the course. Problems of that type should be discussed directly with the teacher.
The Blogs start each week on Monday, and the cut-off for the final blog entry is Sunday, so the number of entries will be calculated up to that point. Each week will be marked out of 10 points according to how complete the blog is and whether or not it is truly related to the course and the strategies or grammar learned in it.
