Kind of homework given to Ss

I really hope that one day i can let my Ss try using blog for their frequent writing!!! I wonder how i should carry it out. For example, what topic jor main area of discussion i should set for my Ss? Like Steven, you let your Ss talk about images/pictures/artpieces that they like. they are interested to talk about them. What are the topics that Ss have "longlasting" interests in?

The HW i give to my Ss have to be conformed to what is agreed by all Eng teachers. e.g. newspaper cutting, journal, sentence making, book reports (in Worksheet format)...
Lower form Ss usually get some guided WS for newspaper cutting...
There is one big challenge to Ss: many of them are extremely lazy and they just copy their HW from others!!! no matter which subject!!!

Luckily, there are still some Ss (in some better classes) willing to learn!!! This is already very satisfying!!!

The challenge to me is i just don't have enough time to mark all their work!!! The above mentioned is not all that i have to mark. since i have to Geog too, which may not be known to some of you perhaps, i need to mark the WB!!! now the test is coming and i just couldn't finish them. i just return the WB to Ss and give the answers to them...
