Find and follow a blog II

Please update on us on the wonderful world of blogs for this week.

The Daily Me

Read "The Daily Me" by Nicholas D. Kristof. In light of your response to the "Politically Speaking" survey, do you agree with Kristof? Explain your answer and refer back to at least one quote from "The Daily Me".

Survey says...

Complete the survey "Politically Speaking". After the entire class has taken the survey, write a comment. Questions to consider: Do most students interact with people who disagree politically with them on a regular basis? Why or why not? Do students choose news sources that ever challenge their political beliefs? Do you think it is important for students to have their political beliefs challenged? Explain.

Here are the results...

Find and follow a blog...

For your next assignment, I would like each of you to find a blog that you will follow for the rest of the quarter. Each week you will be responsible for updating the class on what action has happened and what the blog owner has posted.

When selecting a blog, please make sure that it is a current blog and is kept up to date with frequent posts. Also, make sure the topic is one that interests you. I would suggest blogs kept up by organization or famous individuals and/or about politics, the news, sports, business, literature, music. etc. Here are two helpful search engine to help you find a blog: Blogsearch and Technorati.

After finding your particular blog, please comment on this post including a link and a brief description about the blog and why you choose it.
