About Blogging
The excerpts you see on this blog originate on one of the 138 blogs currently in use. Each blog is from a grade 6 through 12 students many using English as their second language.
At SSIS we believe that blogging...
encourages students to talk about writing as a process. It helps them realize that texts are not perfect documents that we learn to spew out. It helps them learn that texts are always in the process of revision. They learn that even after they post their carefully proofread entry, someone will inevitably come along, ask questions, and force the writer to take another look at the work he or she has written. Of course, we all know that it doesn't take place with every text but, when it does happen, students learn what it really means to write. (K. Glogowski)
