“So why are your blogs doing well? “
![Page 70: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
I think everyone started making their blog thinking “Oh well I guess
I’ll try to make it nice for the grade”, but eventually some of us enjoyed putting the extra effort to
make others (followers) love to come back to our blog to keep reading more of our thoughts.
![Page 71: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Therefore, I believe the blogs that are doing well are doing well
simply because each group and each person are trying hard to be
recognized for being great at blogging, even if they do not
want to admit it. “
![Page 72: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
“I think the blogs are doing so well because we started to fall in love with blogging. It’s nice to know
that some people find your point of view interesting
and unique. Everyone nowadays
wants to be unique and try and stand out.
![Page 73: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
We can post about almost whatever we want, so we only post
things that we are passionate and care about.
![Page 74: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Making a blog isn’t a usual thing that English classes do. Now that
we’re trying something different, we engage much more of our time
to it because it’s interesting to
us. It helps us escape from our regular book work from other
classes and show the public what we’re really like.”
![Page 75: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
I believe that students are
motivated by the curiosity of what response they will get when
writing a blog post”
![Page 76: The Best Audience is NOT you- Why you should help your students blog](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052504/5549ae5eb4c905a6758b57dd/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
We are given a lot of freedom on what we want to write about
compared to other classes. As a result, these posts/blogs are of a
higher quality since we know what to write about because it’s coming
straight from our hearts.
