Help with Blogging Assignments

The value of this post is in the comments. The author describes a blog writing assignment he is using - an assignment that is failing to generate the sort of response he is looking for. Several good suggestions have been offered already - you may have more. I would probably refer students to my Guide to the Logical Fallacies (which I should really update - it has been ten years). or something that gives them a mechanism for analyzing and evaluating written material (there's such a dearth, and yet people who cannot critically assess writing are in an important sense illiterate). And I wouldn't have them criticize each others' work - there's enough peer pressure to conform as it is; let them criticize Instapundit or Dave Pollard or something.
