- To create a place where we could practise writing down our ideas in English on a regular basis. We could just keep a private journal to write in, as Quest suggests, but why keep your ideas about things that interest you when you can share them with others, who might share the same interests, or find a new interest?
- To discuss issues of interest that arise from what we talk about in class, or that come up when we're writing an essay question of something. You all ask good questions, and sharing our ideas on them is a good way to learn. It gives you an opportunity to work things out by reflecting on them and getting other people's ideas. And that's what students do at university: in seminars, in research groups, and so on.
An alternative to having one class Blog would be for everyone to have their own Blog. My initial decision to try a class Blog was that it meant everyone's response writing was in one place, rather than spread out over several Blogs.
What do you think? Would you prefer to continue this way, or to set up your own Blog? A hybrid alternative is to keep this Blog and also set up individual Blogs, to which I could put a link from this Blog.
Please let me know what you think. If you have another completely different idea for an effective way to practise writing for fluency, please let me know. I'm more flexible on this than on the formal written work I assign.
Of course, one other aspect of writing fluently is writing for exams, where you have to both write quickly, and worry about the usual considerations of academic writing. For that, we do the occasional exam. The first of those will probably be this Friday or next Monday.
This class Blog that can be help a group of writing class for discussion about ideas of reading and writing such as the acdemics reding from text book that want be to focus main idea and can be help write to thesis statement, which are important for academics writing. When I have leisure, I want to write how to write a thesis statement from reading, that could be from discussion in a group of class for out-time of class. finally, I hope to use this Blog for discuss a reading book, a journal, a magzine or many ideas from the internet that can be help a group of student in class to developing fluency of writing skill.
