Senior writing students, that is.
You asked what the expectations for your blogs were: I expect them to be interesting. Maybe informative. Perhaps persuasive. Even contemplative. Above all, however, I expect good writing of any genre (as defined by the criteria we set out as a class), checked over, though not extensively revised and edited.
The point of a blog is to have a place to share your thoughts with the world. (At the moment, for many of you “the world” appears to be me. For others of you, the world has expanded to our classroom. Write interesting-enough posts, and I imagine that it will expand even further.)
Keep in mind that this is a school forum, but other than that, roam free in the wilderness of ideas.
And if the wilderness appears too dense to move, turn here for a machete to cut through it. Remember as well that we have lists of argumentative and narrative and personal writing prompts in the classroom, as well as an editorial contest to enter and win.
