2. draft and revise their writing, using a variety of informational, literary, and graphic forms and stylistic elements appropriate for the purpose and audience;

3. use editing, proofreading, and publishing skills and strategies, and knowledge of language conventions, to correct errors, refine expression, and present their work effectively;

4. reflect on and identify their strengths as writers, areas for improvement, and the strategies they found most helpful at different stages in the writing process. (taken from www.edu.gov.on.ca, 2006)


As well, students will be expected to follow appropriate netiquette, the schools acceptable use policy, develop appropriate internet use, and navigation skills. There is the general expectation that students, by the end of the school year, will show less resistance to written tasks, possess an ease of use when surfing the internet, depict further confidence using technology, and have the blog as evidence of their progress over the course of the year.
