The Beginning, the Middle, and

Exactly.

A blog post without an ending is just as bad as a movie without an ending. Furthermore, a blog post without a beginning or middle - well, that is just as bad too.

The first week of blog posting went well. Now having said that, lots of what I read lacked thought and originality. Keep in mind that you are publishing work to an audience, not just your teacher. Two to three sentences can not possibly answer these higher order thinking (HOT) questions that you face in your weekly dailies.

Believe me - it is possible to keep your blog post short and concise while at the same time including a beginning, middle and an end for your reader. The point of this project is to mold and shape you into a better writer by allowing you to practice your craft. Please take these suggestions and use them. Not only will your grade thank you, but as will your reading audience.

I have included a few highlights from the first week, here, here, here, here, and here. Check out the HUB for this weeks "dailies".

Good luck and happy blogging.
