Decisions, decisions!
*Update*
I use blogging in my courses so that students can practice low-stakes writing for their peers (and also to teach a bit about technology: many of my students have never heard of blogs or blogging). This semester, students blogged about our college's common book The Good Soldiers. Here's one student's final post (I post it here as evidence of the level of student I'm teaching this semester -- is she ready for FYC? I don't think so, but we'll see . . .):
My last time.
For my last blog post I would like to put my final words about how I feel about the book we have been reading this second half of the semester. I feel that at first the book was really boring. I felt this way because I am not into reading and if I need to read something I need to read something that interests me. So I knew I had to suck it up and read parts of the book. The first two chapters I was very confused I didn't even know what they where talking about so I decide to just skip into the middle of the book and see if I could pick up what Finkel was talking about. I started to read maybe five pages and I was understanding what he was talking about and so I just kept reading. After just reading about three chapters in the book I understood what was somewhat going on in the war. I kept giving more and more respect to the solders that were over in war and what they were going through. I still get confused though when they use the privates numbers and say numbers with letters in the book because I still don't understand what they are talking about. I do want to say though I think Julie made a good choice of a book to pick for the English class.
