Writing Assignment # 10

The final assignment will require you to respond to a peer's blog. You can begin doing this for any blog that has more than SIX posts. Here are the rules of engagement:

1) You cannot write negative about the writer(s) or writing, but the point is also not just to praise the writer(s). Instead, use his/her/their posts as a launching pad for your own thoughts. You are welcome to disagree with the ideas in the original post but you must do so respectively.

2) Your response must be as specific as possible; refer to specific lines or ideas instead of generalizing about the topics.

3) You do not have to comment on EVERY post, simply the ideas or posts that you felt were particularly interesting. As a general guideline, choose at least three posts to really focus on.

4) Do not comment on the structure of the writing, just the ideas.

If you are unsure about the content of your response post, save it as a draft and discuss it with me in the lab.
