Why is it important?
Writing for today's youth is no longer just a pencil/paper task. This article features blogging as an instructional tool for writing.
Perspectives
Learning to write well can be a challenging task for young writers. Not only do writers need to be proficient at the "rules" of writing (grammar, punctuation, spelling) but they must also be able to craft the writing to hold the attention of the reader. This article offers an update on teaching the craft of writing through blogging.
