Of icons, comments and Pacquaio-Hatton

I appreciate those who have uploaded their face pics, or shall we say, icons. Rey King, Adem and Mary Ann are on the list. This makes this virtual learning site more dynamic. I know more are in the offing.

We will cap our discussion on creative fiction this weekend and by tomorrow, we will start discussing Creative Nonfiction. However, I will distribute a reading about Short Story Writing, as part of the genres treated in the course.

Somebody left a message in the comment section, asking where is the interactive feature of this blog. Well, the fact that he or she was able to post a comment on this site is in itself an interactive "act." I decided though not to post it since it has no identification.

May I then remind everyone to indicate their names at the end of their comments even though they log on as "anonymous." I deliberately removed the restrictions of this site so that access would be easier for the students.

A tag board will be added to this site.

As regards our make-up class on May 3, I think, it will not derail your much-awaited Pacquaio-Hatton fight. The brawl will start lunchtime, right? By then, our class had already been dismissed.

Here's an idea. Look for interesting angles how your family, your neighborhood, your friends, officemates and your community as whole viewed this fight.

What were the preparations, anticipations, jeers and jubilations?

This is ringside action! It will be a good topic for our Creative Nonfiction.

You can make a good side bar story reportage of that event.
