I can understand your concerns... However, there are some options. Take a look at my <a href="http://mmsreading.edublogs.org" target="_blank">reading blog</a> and <a href="http://wemetech.edublogs.org" target="_blank">computer applications blog</a> .

I incorporate a blog with each of my LA classes. I use the blog a means to publish work. I had always had issues with this final stage of the writing process. I use the blog to give students writing assignments. The writing varies from creative to narrative, short stories, and yes lot's of opinionated writing as well. I always give examples. Each student has his/her own blog where they submit their work. I try to make this as creative as possible. Take advantage of the technology, images, audio files, and video. We do film reviews- embedding the clips or trailers.<br />
<br />
I'll also use the bog to post background info. on reading selections, authors, etc. What they absolutely need are guidelines. If you want them to post responses, then they'll have to be presented with some very debatable or thought provoking prompts. I use a lot of anticipation guide responses as a pre-reading activity and this tends to work well.<br />
