Welcome to our GWRTC103 Community Blog!

Welcome, bloggers!

We'll talk more about the blog in class, but, briefly, we'll use this space to brainstorm writing topics, share ideas about our readings, and expand upon discussion points that come up in class. You will each gain administrative rights to the compose, revise, and comment throughout the semester.

See you in class on Monday!
