HOT blogging

Blogging is an excellent way for teachers to integrate writing with reading.  A blog also will develop communication skills as well as enhance the ability for online reading.  Blogs require higher order thinking because when a student reads something online, they must analyze and evaluate the material that they are reading online.  There are various ways that a student can blog.  A teacher can use these ways to their advantage such as mirror blogging or literature response blogs.  These are just two examples of ways that students can critically think about how they want to write something on the blog.  In the literature response blogs, they must first practice reading and then analyzing what they read and find a way to put it on their blogs.
