Blog

Blogs are community places that share information. Blogs are a way to share everday information/tasks and receive comments. Blogs are informal and relaxed. Blogs usually revolve around a central theme or topic.

I would like to use blogs in the classroom to elicit student comments about topics we are studying. Specifically, I have an idea for "Irony."

For example: In class this week, I introduced the literary element- Irony. The lesson was an investigation. I read several short stories, situations, and shared cartoons. All were done without using the term "Irony." Students worked to attach language to describe the situations that were occurring- where the outcome of the situation was not what was intended or expected. Now that students have the vocabulary and examples, I would like for them to blog to share their thoughts and thus demonstrate their understanding.
