Hello, 5th Hour! Welcome to your class Blog!
We will be using our blog for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. Our main purpose will be for you to learn about blogs and what they are used for. We will also use them to post assignments, do journal entries or simply have class discussions. You may respond to the blog from class, home, the library or any other place that you might have access to the Internet.
Before we begin, there are ground rules that must be set and followed. Note that if these ground rules are not followed you may receive a zero on the assignment(s). Please follow the rules!
All posts must use school appropriate language. When you post, you must write in complete sentences using proper grammar and spelling. Do not use: u, r, ur, b4, cuz, etc.
When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm, judgment, and/or put-downs. You must state how you feel and why. You must comment on every article, topic, or question from me - it is an assignment - and your response should thoughtfully address each topic and question posted on the blog. You cannot simply write “I agree.”
Your first assignment will be to introduce yourself. Please provide some background information, discuss things you enjoy doing, your family, and your future plans. Then answer the following questions:
1. How much do you know about blogging?
2. Have you ever used or hosted a blog?
3. What might you use a blog for personally?

Hello! My name is Alexis McCarroll, and I'm a freshman. I was born in Germany and spent a majority of my life there. I'm in a military family of four and we all love to travel. I dream about my future all the time; I want to go to the University of Michigan and move to London as soon as I graduate.
ReplyDeleteI know quite a bit about blogging. I get paid to advertise products on my blog, and I have about four or so separate blogs, used all for different purposes (i.e. honors english blog, personal blog, professional blog, "scrapbook" blog, and my online experience blog). I use my blogs both for school and to keep track of my life.
