The back story to this lesson and assignment comes from a comment left by Keith Davis of Easy Public Speaking on 
the Count The Words or Make Each Word Count post where he said, in part,
Perhaps todays assignment should be to write an eleven word post and make it interesting. That would be some assignment!
I like challenges so decided to take Keith’s idea and turn it into a lesson.
But, I’m going to kick it up a notch and we will turn it into a poem – with verses of the poem written by each of us. To make it even more challenging, comments cannot exceed eleven words.
Ready for some fun? I’ll start.
*****Beginning of Today’s Lesson and Assignment****
THE END OF BLOGGING
Blogging ended
I am sad
Missing you all
And going mad
Today’s Assignment
Now it’s your turn to add to the poem
REMEMBER: Your comment cannot exceed eleven words, and it must correspond with the title of the poem, “The End of Blogging”.
Happy rhyming 🙂
