The Overall Picture

These past couple have months have been filled with constant communication. I feel that apart from our daily discussions, Blogger has played a whole role in conversation between AP English students. Although my procrastination has left me stressed multiple Sunday nights, I have found Blogger as a unique and casual way to display my ideas about English class. First of all, I usually have many things to say after discussions. This new tool helps me to express my ideas after class is over and without having to face the horrors of our competitive discussions. I continually express my fears of public speaking throughout my blog. Therefore, it remains clear that Blogger provides me with a stress free way of speaking my mind. Not only do I get to express my own ideas, but I read and learn about the other students in my class. I have found that each blog seems to have a specific theme that has allowed me to get to know each student more deeply. For instance, if you visit Haley's blog, it is filled with shopping bags to represent her obvious love for shopping. The blog banter at the beginning of class, also provides a fun way to start our class. Rather than digging right into worksheets, journals, or discussions, we laugh about the ridiculous things people blog about. Blogger has definitely been a positive asset to English class and I hope to continue with Blogger in the future.
