Let's Get Blogging! (For Class 809)

By now, you should have one intro post under your belt (on your former blogs.)  Right now, please don't worry about moving those intro posts to your new blog.

Today, you'll have the chance to join your new blog group (if you already haven't) and start working on your first reading response post.  (You lucky ducks!)

For those who need refreshing on last week's "How To Blog" lesson, access a how-to guide here.

Using the rubric that I gave you on Tuesday, make sure that your post:
  • Has two good paragraphs
  • Shows that you're thinking about and connecting to your book, rather than just retelling what happened. 
  • Uses academic writing with good capitalization, punctuation, and grammar. 
  • Has some voice!  
We will be available to answer any questions that you have.

If you finish with your responses early, there may be time to show you some fun things that you can do with your group blogs.  So, get writing!
