Welcome to the Blog, and Journal Two prompt. From Mike

Welcome students and fellow writers,

Hope you will enjoy the blog, and this is meant to give us another way to express our ideas and communicate with one another. 

Today's goals are to become familar with the blog so we can use it well, and complete Journal Two here on the site.

My wife Irene and I in Florida last December.  Do you know the famous place where Ernest Hemingway did much of his writing? We went there, and ask me if you don't know!

JOURNAL TWO PROMPT



--For your first post, write a paragraph where you introduce yourself, tell us some things that help us know you more, and remind us of a fun fact about you.  Also, please post a simple photo of yourself, so we can always come back to this and associate your name with your face and introduction.  Again, the blog will just be for our class and I will adjust the privacy and search settings.
--In your next paragraph or paragraphs, respond to this:
Four Genres In Brief analysis:  From our textbook reading, which concept, term, or advice has been most helpful this far?  Why?  Explain.  Use at least one good direct quote from the chapter in your response.
--When you are finished, publish your post, and then read other posts on the blog and write Comments to two other people in the class.  Try to respond to something specific, or add to or connect to something that has been written.  Conversation is an art in itself, and work to add something to the conversation on the blog if you can.
Good luck, have fun, and just let me know when you need help!
