Guidelines for Posts

Each post needs to be a "free write." In other words, I will not be "grading" you on grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Your typing ability should not impact your grade for this portion of your final grade.

I expect each post to be quite lengthy -- around 250 words (ask if you do not know how to cut/paste into Word to do a word count). Each post should show me that you have adequately reviewed the assigned readings. Your opinion matters to me and should show through in your comments. I will NOT mark you down for having an opinion that differs from mine (either as a person, or as a teacher). I WILL mark you down for not answering the following question: WHY? No opinion is valid in writing unless you answer that question.

Above all, address what I ask you to address in the assignment for the week and try to avoid tangental thinking and writing.

Welcome

Congratulations! You got here. In this space, I will post regular announcements and assignments for our class. The first announcement is that you are to each create your own "blogger" blog. Make sure that you post a "test" post -- use "test" as both the title line and the message.

After doing so, copy the link directly out of the address line and e-mail it to me at kpeters27@hotmail.com. In the subject line put your first and last name.

This is a pretty significant part of your grade. If you are having ANY problems with this, make sure that you call me at the number listed on the syllabus. I can talk you through any of this.

Watch this space for any new announcements.

See you next week!
