This is your last blog-free week, so make the best of it. Read, read read. Make sure that you are also looking carefully at assignments and reading them thoroughly.

Read this entire post, please. There are no blogs again this week, but don’t get too used to it. Blogs are great for improving your writing, but they can also pad your grade. For now, use your time to read and do all of the accompanying activities. Read ahead, even. Earn your grade because you read, comprehend, and apply the reading rather than just doing assignments such as blogs. In response to this post, comment specifically about the way your writing has improved this year as a result of blogging. If it hasn’t, write about that, too. In your comment, also mention one other student whose writing you think has improved through blogging and whose blogs you enjoy. Give specific support to your claims.

You should be reading, completing papers, doing homework, and reading ahead this week. Blogs will resume next week. Complete ALL assignments.

Both classes have writing assignments due next week, so there will be no blogs this week. Use your time in class and out of class wisely, and you will have no difficulty completing your assignments.
