What do I do?

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 by5:00 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 #5: Pet Peeves

According to Dictionary.com, a "pet peeve" is defined as "a particular and often continual annoyance."  All of us have certain pet peeves (things that annoy us).  What are some of your pet peeves?

To give you an example, I get annoyed when I am driving, and I see a car with their blinker constantly blinking.  When I see a car with their blinker on, I assume they want to come into the lane in front of me.  Therefore, I will give them space and maintain the speed I am at.  However, as some time passes, I realize that they have forgotten to turn off their blinker.  Ah!! That annoys me.


How about you?  What are some of your pet peeves?
