Thinking Like Writers & Writing Like Thinkers: Library Day!

Why We Blog

In my English 101 class at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, my students came to a realization--if you want to be good at something you have to practice it. They all mentioned they spent on average 4-5 hours a week on activities they considered themselves good at, but less than an hour a week writing. Why? Because they thought writing only counted when it was for school. So we agreed to try to write more on subjects and topics not related to school. This blog is a forum for all of us to voice our opinions, to be heard, to think and, most importantly to write.

Library Day!

I used my time at the library today searching for more information that could be used in my movie review. I found a book called New Orleans in the twenties. After finding all of the necessary sources, I began to write my review for The Princess and the Frog.
