English 110 hones analytical habits of mind that are meant to be naturalized and used outside of the classroom. Therefore, the Blog Project takes the analysis you use throughout the ARP and Commonplace, and gives you the chance to practice applying it to the public writing you already interact with in your everyday life. As you become accustomed to making this analytical move on your own, you will develop into a more aware, critically thinking citizen of the world.

Welcome to the Blog Project!

Hello Class!

This is our version of the English 110 Blog where, as stated in the purpose, you can apply your newly acquired analytic skills to the more informal realm of public writing as we progress through the course. Every week, different students will post interesting primary sources and lead discussion of them on the blog and for about 15 minutes each Wednesday at the beginning of class. This is a project that you guys are in control of. You guys post what you find interesting, talk about what you want to talk about, take the discussion in the directions that you want to go. More detailed instructions are on Carmen, and we will also be going over it in class. Don't forget your analytic moves, and have fun!

Here are the groups for the different weeks:

Week 3: Haimeng Wu, Zhen Zhang, Joe Wilson, Nikki Whitman
Week 4: Wenqi Xue, Michael Eaken, Alexandra Fox, David Ross
Week 5: Ayesha Hamza, Claudia Lim, Chunan Shi, Jeff Johnson
Week 6: Yiyi Wang, Tiffany Li, Bryan Stobehn, Aaron Konkle
Week 7: Hongye Tao, Da Huang, Craig Davis, Matthew Sanda
Week 8: Michelle King, Luay Mourad, David Ogan, Whitney Paxton


Each group will work together to figure out what primary source will be posted and what will be discussed during class. Blogs are due posted by each group Wednesday before class of the week each group is responsible for; blogs are due posted by the class for that week by Wednesday before class for the next week.
