Your First Post

The objective of this lesson is to generate an exchange of ideas about poetry between peers by using blogging as a medium. 

You will read and analyze a poem written by a Latino poet, research the poet's background to better understand the poem, and post the poem, along with your analysis, to a blog for discussion with your classmates.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with blogs, here's how it works.

  17. This is a great form of communicating because some of us are already familiar with blogs and know how to use them. One advantage of using a blog is that you can use it on your cell phone. That is an advantage because we all have a cell phone. At least for the most part. Another advantage is this is a creative form of communication. That makes it fun and entertaining. One more advantage is that its just another way to talk to our peers in an easier way.
