Personally I do not care for the way she put down Mr. Neubergers methods of teaching. Although we do not need to know all this stuff about how to post podcasts and ect. we are still developing better communications skills through it. With all of the stuff we do in the applied communications class most is to make us think more and convey our thoughts and to be created. She did have a good point with writing her comment but she could have left the part about elementary kids writing better out of it. For all we know the elementary kids work she saw that was better could have been done by elementary students that are child geniuses or highly gifted. To sum this comment up about the Ninya ladies comment about our blog, she has good points but should have used better words to sound less rude as i would call it. This is my thoughts of her critique of our blog.

The only promblem I have with her is when she says she has grade school kids who can write better tan this. If she thinks she can do better than why does'nt she come teach us if she is so dang smart. I know im not that good at english but since we have been doing this blog my writting has improved a lot. She never read what are writting was like before we did the blog so she has know idea weather this has help us or not. If she wants to come in and show us how to do this correctly then let her. I know were already suppossed to know most of this stuff already , but our school district is kind of behind so it might not be our fault.

For today, I would like to have you try something new. By now, all of you are aware several people outside of our immediate classroom are reading, and in some cases, commenting on our blog. The following is a comment from the Miller R-2 website.

I looked at all the blogs in Alice's Restaurant. Rather than teach students to post a podcast to the web, which they will more than likely not need to do after they leave high school, I think they should have been taught better COMMUNICATION, through better writing skills. I read this was an Applied Communications class. It appeared, from their writings, the students need to learn how to communicate through writing. To be quite frank I think some elementary students can write better than this. All teachers need to start teaching better grammar to students, especially English Teachers.
To end on a more positive note, I thought the "Coach Stokes Interview" was humorous. (I will say I didn't look at the writing skills of the interview.) Ninya Biznez

I value criticism because I can learn where I need to improve. Not all criticism is accurate, but I usually find some hint of truth in it. The above critique of our blog has some valid points. Some of them are aimed squarely at me. What I want you to do today is the following:

• Post a response via email. Go to your email program, start a new email message, type your response, and email to the following address: lneuburger.alicesrestaurant@blogger.com
  
• You need to write a PARAGRAPH of at least 166 words that comments on Ninya Biznez' critique of our blog.
• Be respectful, insightful, and honest.

This is worth 80 points. We have not had many assignments for points this semester making this one you want to do well on. Your grade will be based upon these three factors:

• 20 pts.-- It addresses the topic.
  
• 30 pts.--The paper is free of all spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors. (Each mistake is worth 5 pts.)
• 30 pts.-- Proper use of capitalization (Each mistake is worth 5 pts.)
  

You have one day to accomplish this task.
