Introduction the Language Arts Blogosphere

What the heck is a blogosphere?

The blogosphere is made up of all blogs and their interconnections. The term implies that blogs exist together as a connected community (or as a collection of connected communities) or as a social network in which everyday authors can publish their opinions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blogosphere


What the heck are we doing here?

We are creating our very own blogosphere for our class - the Language Arts Class Blog - La Class Blog.


What the heck are we doing today?

We are going to free write! Ooh La La! It's easy and fun. Just write whatever you want for 10 minutes. Write about your dog. Or write about your cat. Or write about the person sitting next to you (be nice). Or write about writing. Or write about me (be really nice). Just write! Remember to put today's date at the beginning along with a headline (what your story is about). Remember to put your name at the end. That's it - we'll call it a post.
