Weekly Blog Assignment - Thursday Night Reflection
This is a standing assignment for most weeks of the trimester. Each week you need to write a short essay (about 500 words) reflecting on something you learned or about which you contemplated in the previous week. The exact topic of your essay is up to you. The value behind doing this kind of writing is that the expression of your thinking in writing forces you to organize your ideas in a way that clarifies them and gives them more permanence. You will publish your weekly reflection in the form of a "Blog" entry on your Weebly page. Your entry should be appropriately titled and meticulously proofread and revised. Some weeks you will be sharing your reflection with classmates. This assignment is due by 11:59 on Thursday nights.
