Once the students in my class set up their blogs, and then posted their first entries, I turned the tables on them: After reading and commenting on each others favorite pieces of popular culture, I had them swap and review! While their classmates may not have been unbelievers, they were a good test audience. So, for their second round of postings, they each picked one to "buy." Everyone picked (or was assigned :) !) one movie, television show, etc. and had to watch it, listen to it, read it, or experience it.
After they had a chance to take in the culture, they back and re-read their classmates' blogs and made note of things they agreed with, disagreed with, or thought needed to be added. Then they started drafting for their next postings.
I stressed the need to make sure that their blogs were appropriate and in good taste.
