Hey all! This will be our class blog for the rest of the semester. This will be a great way for you to share your writing skills and insights on what happens in class.
So here's the skinny. Each week you will be required to CREATE one new post and RESPOND to at least one other post. At the beginning of each week I'll give you some direction, if you need it. Otherwise, I just want you to be thinking about and responding to what happens in class.
Other items to note: This is a great opportunity to share with one another, but keep in mind...this is monitored by me. Don't say anything inappropriate or rude or unnecessary. This blog is for learning purposes, and I really think it will be an important tool for our classroom community. SO have fun!
Your FIRST assignment: Share your thoughts on our discussion of the American Dream last week. What do you think the American Dream means? Is it the same for everyone? Should we judge others' dreams? Take those questions, and go from there. Also be sure to give us your first name if your profile name doesn't already provide it. Due date: Create your post (click on "New Post" in the upper righthand corner) and respond (click on "Comment" at the end of a post) to at least one other by 8:00 a.m., Monday, February 16.

ReplyDeleteLet me be honest for like 2 seconds: I wasn't sure how I felt about the blog at the very beginning. But after reading some of the posts and comments, I've decided that I really like it! It's really cool to see what others in our class have to say about this topic (and I'm sure others will come up in the future, too) without the pressure of having to talk in front of the whole class. This is DEFINITELY a GREAT idea!
ReplyDeletei like this idea,a lot of people can be who they really want to be and act how they want on the internet, not everyone can stand up in front of the class and express themselves like some people can on the internet. i think this will be a great way to see how some people are and how they feel about different things.
