Last Core Blog Ever!!

Although I wasn't a fan of the whole blogging thing at first, you have to admit that it is a really great way to get more from the class. Before the required blogging, I would just read straight through the story without pulling much out from it. But having the blogs forced me to take the time to stop at those half formulated thoughts that occurred in the middle of reading and analyze them. Rather than quickly reading through, I began to make more connections and think more about what was being said in the text. The blogs also caused me to create more connections between things. I even started connecting things between other classes and would start thinking of what to say in my blog before realizing that neither of those classes were Core so there was no blog to write them down for. Overall, the blogs ended up being a good way to get me thinking more, not just about my Core books and discussions, but all the books and discussions that are taking place in all my classes.
