Freshman writing

We can have the students answer questions on the blog instead of out loud to require participation. They speak in such a different manner than they write, but they don't realize the importance of the difference. I would require them to answer in complete sentences, which is something we're focusing on, and is something they don't do when answering questions orally.

    That's a great way of teaching students how to write in complete sentences. If they have to write complete sentences in all of their classes and on the blogs, the faster it will become a habit instead of something that have to think about.
