What I read
This post isn't really about what I've read, although I have been reading in preparation for your class. Rather, this post is to welcome you to our class blog.
So, welcome.
So, welcome.

My response
Thank you for joining our weekday class in Reading and Writing for academic purposes. I hope you find the next six weeks useful, productive, also challenging, and perhaps even fun.

My question
In her foreword to students on page 4, the series editor, Dorothy E. Zemach, gives some strategies for successsful learning, one of which is to "be an independent learner" (Rogers & Wilkin, 2013). This class blog is one way for us to do this. As Zemach suggests in her comment, it helps you learn to "find and then share information about ... different topics."
Some of the topics you will write about here are the unit topics, but I also like Zemach's suggestion that "reading for pleasure and using the Internet in English" are important, so your writing here will not be limited to the topics of the units that we study over the next six weeks.
Do you agree with Zemach and myself? Is a class blog a useful addition to our class this term? (This is two sentences, but it's only one question for you to respond to.)
You can respond as soon as you accept the invitation I will soon send you to join this blog.
