Writing in World History

A blog ensures an audience for student's writing- an aspect that is often limited by time and mode in more traditional classrooms. In history, students can write responses to primary sources, make predictions of the consequences of historical events, and summarize readings assigned in jigsaw activities for classmates. All of these activities will have accessible records that can be referred back to for re-reading and analyzing by students while eliminating the misplacing or loss of assignments by students.
