Blogs for 2016-2017

This is the list I have as of today. If you aren't here, please send me your blog address so I can add you. Meanwhile, since no one knows you exist, no one will read your blog or give you credit for having written a post.
 

A set of Blog Requirements and Dates, 2016-2017

While it would be most convenient if we could lay this blog at the feet of each student knowing that, each week, every student would put together an insightful and meaningful set of musings about the progress of this endeavor, plus an informative summary of the ups and downs of the work, that seems unlikely in the real world. A more reasonable expectation is that, even now, you are staring dumbly at the screen, completely overwhelmed by the notion that a teacher would assign you work during this senior year, let alone a volume of work which would require (shudder) effort.

Let us bottle that sense of wonder and channel it into a productive bit of writing for your first blog. Listed below are the topics and dates for each post you have to write. The dates reflect two points: 1) blogs must be written weekly and 2) the date listed is the Friday of the week during which the blog post is due. It can be written earlier. The topics are starting points. We expect that you will include in each post some idea of where you are where you are headed but these topics will also help you get a handle on your emotions each week and move you into a mode more productive than simply a laundry list of things you have accomplished, alphabetically ordered.


 And remember -- if you have something else to say, feel free to say it in addition to or even instead of these prompts.
