Student Blogs
Posted by kathy on October 10th, 2007. Filed under: Teaching.I started a new assignment for my honors students this year. They are to write blogs (or journals). I decided to have them do this after a huge push to expose our kids to “real world” literature. I think this is one of the best assignments I’ve ever had my kids do. I have been able to learn so much about them through their writing. Some of it has been HILARIOUS! For example:
“My dad has always told me that anything is possible. Well, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that a homeless man can get a job at BiLo and live in a million dollar house!”
Anyway, there are tons of funny ones and some that have broken my heart. Sometimes I forget that these kids are so sensitive. It’s entries like the ones I’ve been reading that make me love my job!
