My favorite blog we had to write would probably be my strongest opinion on any topic because it was such an open ended blog. I did not like the "A Walk Through Harlem" because it took a lot of evaluation for other sites and searching for things I didn't find that I needed to know. Sometimes, I admit, I did just do the minimum for the blog, but a lot of the time the interest spoke to me so I did more than I needed to do. I did think blogging was a fun way to learn because it is more interactive than a lecture and more fun then doing a worksheet. I don't see myself continuing this blog, but I never know. Next year's juniors should have a blogging experience because it was not too overwhelming and it was a nice way to get assignments done.
My favorite stories we read were The Pit and the Pendulum, The Crucible, and The World on the Turtle's Back.
