Juneau-Douglas High School's creative writing classes provide students a wide range of exploration and expression in the language arts. New media, like this blog, creates new avenues and dimensions for student writers, while also allowing participation by peers, teachers and others via the web.
Instead of writing to the singular audience of a teacher, the students' audience includes all the students in the creative writing classes, and others who are interested. Feedback in the comment sections of each blog provides opportunities for affirmations, as well as helpful suggestions.
An important benefit of using the blog format for this class is its portability. You can work on your blog or read others any place you have internet access.
Be sure to check this blog periodically for updated assignments and extra credit opportunities.
