CEDu-534 Week Three
This week we discussed RSS Feeds as well as the use of blogs in the classroom. Today, I introduced a blogging activity for my students in Communications II. We are currently reading Macbeth, and with this blog, students will be answering questions and using critical thinking skills to relate the plot of Macbeth to different themes as well as events in their own lives. Mind you, it is not easy relating to an older man who kills his leader, but there are some similarities to be had. To me, it demonstrates the students' strengths and abilities to create, edit, and discuss on a more mature level.

wow, way to dive in to the student blog thing! I am a bit reluctant with the 6th graders for now but I am pleased to see that you are using them for the H.S. students!
I was going to try blogging with my fourth graders on a book they were reading. I was debating on giving them questions to comment on, or if I should let them just post their thoughts. How is that working with your class?
