It's been awhile since I've offered an update! So here we go...
If you look to the right, you'll see the prompts that my students have been given. I covered their first posts in my last update. For their second posts, I asked them to find some critics' thoughts about their favorite pieces of pop culture and share/respond.
The results? Overall, they are excellent! Feel free to read through all of them and comment!
Post #3 is a little different: I asked everyone to write narratives about their pieces of pop culture-- stories anchored by memory and love. I've not finished grading all of these, but I'm sure they're wonderful!
That brings us to #4! For number for, I switched gears. I divided the class into four groups and these groups are responsible for creating "Writing Manifestos." These manifestos will be guides to the writing process-- created to help students like themselves chart the murky waters from assignment to essay. In keeping with this, I asked everyone to write their #4 posts on writing-- self-reflection and metacognition are the key!
#4 posts should be popping up now...
I'll check back in when I have more to share!
