I am not a fan of graded blog posts. They have to be written on specific ideas which leads to many posts generally saying the same things. I liked at the beginning of the year when we were told that we just had to post at least twice a week regarding literature. It leaves a lot more wiggle room for new ideas and less generic, more authentic posts. Those are much more enjoyable to both write and read.

Well I think of them in terms of a blog post versus an essay. So it becomes every once in a blue moon having to do a constructed response, of which is rather vague to begin with...Versus a standard essay...Then in between that you can do all the posts you want.
Fine. I expect a five page, double-space, typed essay detailing some aspect of C&P you have decided to research. You may not use any database not named JSTOR. Follow only the Chicago Manual of Style and i expect to see a working draft by monday. You now do not have to do another GBP on CP ever in your life.
whoa whoa whoa. graded blog posts are awesome compared to having to write an essay. marcs right, and think of all the paper and ink we save.

haha. Nigel, we're almost done with C&P anyways, so my blog posts on them are going to be becoming more and more sparce.
and i agree with the fact that they are better than writing essays, i'm just making the point that they're boring to read everyone's cuz they're all the same.

I beg to differ...I don't think anyone else looked at Crime and Punishment via Baudrillard's theories of reality.
okay marc. you win.
but if you exclude yourself, they all seem the same.
