My Technical Writing students have written many excellent blog entries this semester. Reading them has kept me energized, entertained, and inspired.
The final blogging assignment included an option to write “humorous, over-the-top narrative instructions for some simple item or process”. This assignment yielded some hilarious, detailed entries, including the following:
Kevin Collins: Ketchup, A Beginner’s Guide
Bill Gvazdauskas: How to Watch TV
Matt Jaffe: Using your New Baseball Cap
Johanna Ku: How to Change Your Dinnerware Set Innocently
Sharon Li: How to Drink Water from a Bottle
Mario Tombasco: How to Illuminate a Room
Students–you should:
1) Read through each, offering comments on what you found particularly humorous or well done in the comments box in the blog.
2) Vote for your favorite by “secret ballot” by leaving a comment in response to this blog entry, noting why you liked it so much (I will not publish the individual votes or comments).
I will tally the votes and reveal the winner on Wednesday! Good luck to all entrants!
