Wow, what a great idea to use your blog for reading responses. It is so much more authentic that way than writing yet another reading response in their reading notebooks! I am definitely going to try this out with my students, now that I've seen how much fun blogging with the kids can be. Good luck with your persuasive writing - let me know if you have any questions as you head into it. I just checked out kidblog, and it looks like a simple, safe way to give each student their own blog - thanks for the suggestion!
