Welcome to English 11 Students

This is your blog. Students at the PALC have been blogging since January, 2006. The blog is a place where students share thoughts and ideas with each other and with the teacher. It offers an opportunity to write more often and have your writing and ideas read by your classmates and teacher.

Your first assignment will be to post a copy of your second draft of a short biography for comment and suggestions from fellow group members. Each group will have its own post for biographies from other group members.

To get a feeling for blogging, read through some of the posts from previous classes!
