Week 14 (final) Question

Well folks, this is it. The final blog entry.
Most of you have done a great job of responding to your weekly questions, and I've really enjoyed reading your responses.

For our final entry, I'd like you to discuss the class. (Despite the fact that grammar may not be your favorite subject!!), what do you think you can take away from our 15 weeks together? You might discuss something that has to with writing, or you could maybe talk about something having to do grammar. Maybe you feel that you are taking away something completely unrelated to both writing and grammar. If you don't think you can take away anything from the class, what do you wish you could have improved? Be honest, as this is simply a truthful reflection on our time together during the Winter-Spring semester of 2010.

Thanks for writing!

Week 13 Question

Let me start off by saying I had a great time on our field trip last Wednesday. It's always fun to see Kate and her birds, and Kootanei Creek (in my opinion) has to be the most beautiful place around Missoula. I hope you all had a good time. By the way, here is Kate's website if you want to check it out:

For this week's question, I'd like you to discuss what you thought about the field trip. More specifically, tell us what you thought the best part of the trip was for you and why. Also, what did you find interesting/cool about our trip to Kate's house?

Try to be as specific as possible in your response. I look forward to reading about your experience.

Week 12 Question

It's amazing how fast the semester has gone by. We have only three more weeks of actual classes, and there is still so much to do.

I've enjoyed reading about your HS experiences. Please keep them coming.

I'd like to focus on our HS visit in one more way. For this week's blog, tell us what you learned from the HS students that was new, surprising, and/or really interesting.

For example, I just assumed that a lot of HS students smoked cigarettes but that only a few smoked marijuana. NOT THE CASE. According to the HS students, more high schoolers smoke pot than cigarettes! That's a surprising (and disturbing) fact.

What surprising facts did you learn from our high school visit?
