Blog style and revision

Go to the New Yorker and Slate sites to see how some more formal blogs are done. Although we're blogging, I would like for you to practice using formal language and structure, even academic style, when possible.

Next, pair up and read each others' posts from last week. Critique each other's work, keeping in mind that although the post should include a brief summary and be clear about what the techniques for classroom management are about, it should only be 200 words. If your partner did not use emphatic language and underline it, help him or her accomplish that.

Then, visit 2 other classmates' sites and comment on their style. Are their summaries concise yet clear? Do they explain their judgment of the techniques efficiently? Tell your colleagues at least one thing you like about their style, and one thing you think they can improve upon.
