Why Blog?

It has been said that writers are artists. Hence, as artists, we like to find different ways to express ourselves. In our case, our way of expression comes in the form of written text.

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 5:00 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 #2: What is the Strangest Thing You Have Ever Eaten?

Do you enjoy eating?  What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

As some of you may already know, I love to eat.  If you did not know that, you will soon find out, for I tend to talk about food very often in class!  I am the type of person who likes to try everything at least once.  Unfortunately, that is usually the way I find out that I am allergic to something.  For instance, as much as I liked the taste of lamb, I unfortunately discovered that I am allergic to it!  

Although I have not tried everything yet, I guess the strangest food that I can think of right now is alligator meat.  I went to a Brazilian BBQ restaurant one time, and my friend told that I should request to eat the alligator meat.  I initially did not believe him, but when I asked the waiter, he actually brought it out!  I of course took this opportunity!  Was it good?  YES!  I actually have to say that I enjoyed it!  I enjoyed it so much that I would actually like to go eat it again.  Haha!  I hope I have not disgusted you all!

    I love your adventurous spirit in dining! Did the alligator have sauce on it or special flavoring?
