Hello, students in Uses of Literacy!
This will be our blog site for the course, where you will post or comment on ideas relevant to the course at least once per week. I’ll provide a prompt below for the first week, but after this week, you’ll be writing posts and comments to each other–although of course, I’ll be reading them! And I’ll occasionally comment or post, too. For reference, you can look at blogs from other semesters: Fall 2014 and Fall 2012. But this site will become your own, and will reflect the unique make-up of this group.
To start out, please post a personal memory of literacy. It might focus on a particular person, book, class or space. Just a paragraph or so. The point is for us to get to know each other a little bit, and for you to practice posting to this site.
After you’ve written your post, read your classmates’ posts, and comment on at least *two* of them. I’ll expect substantive comments for other weeks, but for now, just a word of support or a shared similar memory will do.
Please email me if you have any trouble posting or commenting on the site. I look forward to reading about your literacy memories!
