Blogging Around

I picked Margot's blog to comment on. Using the metacognition prompt, she wrote about her experience with blogging this past year. She discussed what she enjoyed and what she would have improved.

Margot,
Nice post! I also think that it would be a good idea to blog about anything we wanted regarding English. Blogging when I can't think of anything to write for a certain prompt is really arduous. If we could write a blog of our choice I think it would not only be easier but more beneficial to our creative thinking. I think the fact that you were occasionally surpised by your own thoughts while blogging shows its power. So, all in all, I agree blogging was a great experience and provided a great outlet for our thoughts and opinions in English class.

I also chose to comment on Alli Sontag's metacognition on blogging. She talked about her experience with the blogging process and what she liked and disliked about it.

Hey Alli,
I thoroughly enjoyed your post about our blogging experience this year. As I was reading through everone's (well, a lot of peoples), I think that we're almost all on the same page in terms of our attitudes towards blogging this year. The blogging around prompt was also one of my favorites because it let me see how other people were thinking. It's really interesting to see what other people are saying using the same prompt, because for the most part, we all have something different, yet valuable, to say. I also enjoy looking back at my past blogs. You're right about it being a great way to hear your voice when you write.
