New blog for English 2

Okay, so this is the new blog for English 2. This is where students will come to get that little bit extra done for their assignments. From time to time, I'll be offering chances for students to get a little extra credit by posting responses to journal questions online. My hope is that people will begin to better understand how blogging works and how it can be utilized to do some cool things in the classroom.
