About the Blog

This blog was created as a project for my ESL Writing Class. 

With the help of the students in the class, I have put together a list of different fun topics for the students to write about and express themselves through. 

I think that in order to get the most out of writing, you have to enjoy what you are writing about.  And while there is grammar to be learned, I wanted the students to have an opportunity to write and use a different type of media, (stepping outside the typical pen and paper method.)  Blogs can be a great deal of fun, and are becoming a very powerful communication tool.

At this point it's just an expirement, but one that I am hoping is that the blog will bring enjoyment to both the students, and their parents as they are able to easily go online to see their child's progress.

While I do some editing of the students writing, their thoughts, opinions and ideas are all their own.  I expect to see a great deal of creativity and a learning curve as the project progresses throughout this semester.

Wish us luck!
