Sample Blogs

Take a look at several blogs created at the U. Some are associated with a particular class and open to all students in that course. Others are more personal, but still could be used for writing practice!

example of a course blog for weekly postings on assigned topics, as well as announcements and links to outside resources. http://blog.lib.umn.edu/raim0007/wost3307/

personal essays on a variety of topics – ability to categorize them for later recall
http://blog.lib.umn.edu/trail001/shades/

class members share tips with each other

This example is from an architecture student’s blog. She posts images and comments on them using concepts she is studying. Language students could do similar things with images from the target culture (to discuss the culture differences), or to describe objects/scenes as a linguistic exercise.
