My view on blogging

Pros of having blogging as a part of this class:

It's good to have practice writing, and not necessarily in a formal way. Blogging allows people to basically word vomit onto their keyboard creating a blog. Having assigned topics is also good because it causes the person to expand their mind a little bit to think about other topics. The practice of writing in blogs is good because it also makes the writer work on punctuation more. They can read through the sentences they write and see if they are making sense or not. Blogging is also a release. If someone is angry and they word vomit it into a blog it's as if it's off of their shoulders and is now the papers, computers, problem.

The cons of blogging:

It's boring to just write in paragraphs for every blog. It would make the blogs way more interesting if we had to write a poem or even do a blog and show our view or what we want to say through pictures. It's not interesting when we have to write about stuff from the book, or even stuff I don't care about too. If it's something that I have no interest in, then it's hard for me to spit out a few paragraphs about it. The book was generally boring, and most of the essays we read were far from interesting, and then having to write about them was painful.

I think that overall blogging is a good idea for this class, however I think there should be more freedom allowed with them. I know that we were allowed to write about what we wanted most of the time, however, I think it would have made it more pleasurable if it was required that we do paragraphs and instead were able to use pictures, poems, or whatever we want to show how we feel. Maybe just a little more freedom on the style and a little less on the book.
