During one of the ump-teen sessions I had to attend during my Savannah conference I read something funny. Some teachers are attempting to revitalize the research paper assignment by requiring their students to post their as a blog. Each entry is a new paragraph or section. One teacher displayed this definition before getting into the meat of her presentation.
Everyone in the room slowly started to giggle more and more as they finished reading the definition. If you've ever heard of/visited urbandictionary then this colorful definition of 'blog' is no surprise. If you haven't visited the site then I must warn you that several entries are rather crude and vulgar. Though I've never blogged about sleeping until noon (because I've never done that in my life) I think I may have blogged about homework.
