Thing 3
I think that using a blog in a Language Arts classroom could facilitate great discussion on a story read in class. It could encourage students to think beyond the facts of the story. I might use a blog while reading a chapter book aloud with the class. This is a way that I can encourage them to have conversations with eachother about what they are reading. But a blog to be completed on their own time could be good because it will alllow them time to think about what they want to say before they respond. One concern I would have is the studnets taking the blog seriously and putting effort into their responses.

I would encourage you to start by having your students comment back to you about a book you're reading to them. You could also ask them to summarize (in a comment) what they're reading. One more idea - you could ask them to create 2-3 sentence book trailers. Individual student blogs could be the next step.
