The RCL blog serves a few purposes. It is the place where you will respond to course content, develop your course assignments, and reflect upon your writing process and performances. On certain weeks designated by the syllabus, you will respond to readings and develop course concepts. For others, you will upload your working drafts for online peer review workshops. Your blog entries for the remaining weeks may be more generative and reflective in nature.

Here are the features of successful RCL Blog entries:

• are submitted in a timely fashion (before each blogging session), with developed drafts uploaded on designated workshops days or reflective/responsive posts on non-workshop days that average at least 300 words.
• consider options for how to develop responses to assignments.
• reflect meaningfully on the writer’s process, performance, and rhetorical choices.
• consider how course principles can be brought to bear upon the writer’s work.
