I came across this lesson for Persuasive Writing and I thought it is the perfect time of year to try this with your English Classes or tweek it a litle to fit your class. I think that this blogging assignment is a great way to have the students not only improve their creative writing, but it also promotes a little competition in the classroom, which I like. I’m sure the students got extremely engrossed in this project and now would be a perfect time to start this because the NCAA tournament just started. It could be a yearly project around this time of year. I think blogs provide an opportunity for students to express what they are thinking and to interact with people around the world. It can be a very useful educational tool.
