Since this is my first attempt at a blog, I am not going to pretend that I have any idea what I am doing. I readily admit that I have failed in epic fashion when trying to use this blogging site. However, I will try my best to stay at least one step ahead of the class--no promises of the teaching excellence that you are used to, but I promise that I will try...
I really do believe that these blogs are going to be an amazing way to continue our conversations about language, writing, and thinking both with each other and on a larger platform. I want you to think about the general theme of our class as you compose your blog: writing as saying, doing, being. Think about how writing is not some stagnant, meaningless product that you hand in to a teacher for a grade, but it is essentially a manifestation of everything that you say, do, and believe. What you write tells the world who you are and what you think. So start thinking and start your blog.
