Welcome to Your Blogging Site!

This is a space for you to share your thoughts and opinions with your peers about topics/ideas that we give you during this semester's literature class. We hope that you enjoy this experience and have a great time responding to our prompts and your peers' comments. 

 Some Rules To Follow When Blogging in this Class:

1)  Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it’s a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don’t want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don’t do it to someone else.

2)  Don’t write about other people without permission; if you can’t get their permission, use first names only. Never share someone else’s last name.

3)  Watch your language, please.  This is part of our school community. Language that is inappropriate in school is also inappropriate in your blog.

4) Keep it education-oriented (related to the posted question, etc.). That means that you probably shouldn’t discuss your plans for the weekend, the last dance etc.

5) EVERY STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO EACH BLOG TOPIC! The more responses we have from students, the better the discussion!   Each of you has something important to say and everyone should "hear" it.

6) Please remember to include your name (first and last) in your response so that you may receive credit for your comments.
