Good morning Fair Students

There's something in the air. I know, it smells like summer vacation. I can almost taste it! I am so excited for everyone to have some much needed time off from school and schedules. Even though I'll be attending a Hamline class starting almost immediately after school ends from 9-4 each day for two weeks, I am anxious to learn new things that can be used for next year's teaching!

We are at an end of the academic school year and this course. The final thing I would like you to do is this: I want you to read every single blog you've written since the beginning of the term and I want you to write a self-assessment of sorts that explains what your blog reveals about you, both as a person and a writer. I look forward to your reflections. Similarly, I would like you to select one student in the class and read through the whole of their blog. Take time to craft a thoughtful response to them and share with them what you learned, what you liked and what form you imagine their blog (and perhaps life) may take in the coming years.

Thank you!
