Blogging was a new topic to me. I had never thought about doing it before
this class. Whenever I would hear about
a blog I would think of people complaining about their problems. I really liked the blog experience. Everyone brings their own perspective and
experiences to a class blog and that makes each post unique. Blogging made me write and it was
enjoyable. In all my high school English
classes we did warm up writings and journals.
I hated these because we had barley any time to write and then the only
way to share them was by reading them out loud.
Also these class discussions were
uninteresting because everyone was the same age and had similar
perspectives. Are class blog was much
more interesting because everyone had a different background and
perspective. I may keep a blog in the future but I do not
know yet. I hope we will do something
like this in my next English class but probably not.
Thanks for sharing your reflections here Lucas, because you actually made me remember a few benefits that I hadn't thought about, like the age difference and the value of getting perspectives from people of different ages and backgrounds, for instance, and having more time to work through your thoughts.
