True Blogging

What is the actual process of blogging?  A former student, Derrick, describes the blogging process as:

The steps are first you read, then you think about what you are reading. The third step is to make connections about what you are reading and what someone else is writing. You may decide to write about what you are reading and even do some linking as you go!

Derrick really hits the nail on the head with his post on True Blogging.  Today, you will use the "true blogging" process that Derrick describes in creating your post.  The first step is to go to another students' blog and find a post that is interesting to you.  Think about the post you have read and make some connections to what you read and what you are thinking, feeling, and experiencing. 

Let's take a look at Zachary's post before we begin.  Notice that Zachary read Schyler's post first.  Then he took some excerpts from the post and pasted them in his own post.  He did not copy and paste the entire post though!  Don't forget about making the connection.  Tell your readers what you thought about as you read the post.  How did you feel?  Remember to end the post with a thought provoking question to encourage comments.

I see what you mean here. So what you're saying is is that if you read someone's post, you might like it and try writing a post about the same thing. That's what I do sometimes.
