Well hello there, whoever you are... really, because you could either be Ms. Serensky, a fellow classmate, or a mysterious internet surfer like our friend Cheryl, who felt compelled to comment on Mary Beth's blog.
I know what you must be thinking. "Chris, why is the title of your blog an allusion to a popular 2000s hip-hop song?" Well I'll tell you why. It's because it popped in my head and I thought it was funny, that's why. A rational which, in a way, reflects a lot of what the blogging experience evolved into. I'd say that the majority of the effects of the blog project, whether it be their content in particular, the blog banter show, or just discussions in commons along the lines of "did you read so and so's blog?," were that of humor. The person or people who could make the funniest posts of the night would most certainly receive the attention of our fearless leader the next day in the opening five minutes of class. And I know that we've all had that objective in our sights at one point or another, because I know that at least I have. Simply scroll down to one of my first blogs in which I address this desire. But the fact that so much funny content and previously hidden talent has been revealed by the blogs proves that this project has been beneficial.
Considering that this is a school project, a final exam actually, I feel as if we might have even had "too" much fun with these weekly writings. I never truly resented signing into Blogger, which is not something I can say for some other school assignments. So excuse me while I shamelessly brown-nose, but I feel we do owe Ms. Serensky some credit for the creating of this project. Nice work, Ms. Serensky, and thank you for catalyzing all the good times we've had on the blogs.
Mr. Lange, I would have to agree that the blog posts very quickly began to gravitate towards humor. I do not necessarily think that this was a bad thing, but it may have detracted from the educational value of the blogs as a whole. Though this quest for humor may have also led to more creative posts, which would certainly benefit us academically. I think we all can agree that, if nothing else, the blogs have made the first five to ten minutes of every English class more fun.
ReplyDeleteChris, firstly I love your blog's title. I have to agree with you that the funniest blog did receive the most attention. Howver, not in all cases though. I feel creativity was the number one criteria for being on the Blog Show. This is a great semester final. We have done more writing and thinking on our blogs than we would have from writing an hour long in-class essay.
