Welcome!

I'm very excited to have all of you in this class, It will be a great year! This blog is to help you express yourselves as we move through assignments. I will post classroom assignments under the "classroom assignments" tab.  If you miss class, for whatever reason, please refer to this part of the blog and complete any assignments that you may have missed. Directly on the home page you will find specific instructions for writing assignments that I will have you do.  Currently there is a "Blog Etiquette" post, please read this and if you have any questions, reply directly.   If you ever have any questions please post on my blog and I will get back to you!

Blog Etiquette

  1. Unless you have permission, it’s never OK to post someone else’s words on your own blog. You’re certainly welcome to provide a quote with attribution but to reprint the entire post is not good blog etiquette at all. In fact, it can get your blog shut down and your hosting taken away.
  2. Be respectful when commenting on a class members blog. 
  3. Respond to your classmate's blogs. Your readers took the time to offer their thoughts, keep them coming back by reciprocating.
  4. Don’t forget, everything you write is on display for the world to see. If you don’t want to the world knowing something, don’t post it.
