Blog Post #5--the prompt (the last one!) :)

Writer’s Blog Prompt #5

English 110 In Retrospect…

DUE: Wednesday, March 3; please comment on at least five of your peers’ blog by Monday, March 8. We will not have time to do it in class this round. (To receive credit, you must both post your own blog AND comment. And I’ll be checking since we’re not having any in-class time to do this!) ☺

The purpose of this post is to reflect on your writing experience this quarter and to expand the audience of your blog.

1. Format this blog as a letter to students taking English 110 next quarter.

2. Spend time reflecting on your own experience as a writer, and look to your First Day Writing and Blog Prompt 1 to remember your thoughts about writing and the course theme the beginning of the quarter. (You submitted the First Day Writing to the Carmen Dropbox, so you can find it there.)

3. As you write the letter, think carefully about the audience of new English 110 students and consider the following questions if you need guidelines
• What do they need to know to be successful in these assignments?
• What did you do that worked well and what would you do differently?
• What specific examples or stories from your experience this quarter might help illuminate your process as a writer?

And, remember, I would love to be able to show these to future students, if you’d give me permission. (You might recall that I showed you all my students’ letters from last quarter.) So make them effective, helpful, and honest letters.
