For my world-wide audience

In response to Mrs. L...
Since I am new at this blogging thing (hard to believe, but true) I am infatuated by the idea that I have an audience to read what I write. Maybe no one really reads my blogs, but just the idea that I am correlating the jumble of ideas in my head so that others can understand my perspective of things is intriguing to me. If I were to just simply send my journal entries to my teacher without worrying that other students (or my mysterious online audience) were going to view it I wouldn't take the time to use words such as "correlate" and "intrigue". I think that adding a blogging component to class was absolutely genius. If students know that they potentially have a world-wide audience, they will (almost assuredly) be more apt to put thought behind what they write. So, kudos to Mrs. L!!!
