Do you like art? If so, what kind of art? If we think about it, we all like art in some shape or form. For some, art is a beautiful oil painting on canvas. To another, art is expressed through dance, while to another, it is expressed through one's fingers as one molds and shapes new objects made with clay. Did you know that written text can also be art? I would like all of you to be artists with the freedom to express yourselves in any way that you would like.

Every Monday morning, I will post the topic for you to write about. Once you have read my topic, you will need to write your responses on your own blog. Your responses ought to be 2-3 paragraphs in length, but you should not spend more than 30 minutes writing them. Be sure to title each blog entry with "Topic #__:" and then your own title.

Next, you will need to comment on your classmates' blogs. Each student needs to leave a 2-3 sentences comment on two other students' blogs in order to receive credit per week.

Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 8:00 p.m. every Friday. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Friday deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week. I will be leaving a comment on each blog I read to indicate to you that I have read your blog.

On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to display your creativity. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Therefore, have fun!

Topic #1: What do You Want to be Remembered for?

I apologize for making our first blog such a grave topic, but my question to you is as the title reads.  What do you want to be remembered for after you pass away?  I am sure we all want to be remembered in a certain way, so do you feel that you are living your life right now well in that direction?

For me, there are many attributes I want to be remembered for.  If I were to write them all down, it might take a while!  Therefore, I am going to mention one, and that is persevering.  I want to be remembered as one who never wanted to give up and continued to strive forward even when situations did not appear so bright.  I realize that life can be challenging and tough many times.  Nonetheless, I believe we need to continue forward and not dwell within those situations.

What about you??
