Directions for your 2 Posts and "Notes for the Day"

When you blog, in the Title, write your first and last name as you would as if you are turning in a paper to me. Then you do not have to write my name because I know you are in my class. Write what CP English class you are in whether it is CP English 3 or 4 and what period.

In addition, for the title, if you are notetaker for the day, write "notes for the day" and put the date that you took the notes. However, if you are just blogging to fulfill those two required posts, write #1 Post or #2 Post, so I can easily keep track of them.

Of course, you are welcome to write more than the required two posts, and doing so, is another form of participation and does count in the participation grade. Perhaps, in class, you may not participate all that much but in the realm of the blogosphere, you can from the comfort of your own home, reflect on the day's class discussion or offer up an insight that you found particularly interesting, etc., etc.

Of course, I need not go on and on about being respectful towards your peers' opinions and beliefs. If you disagree with another student's views be discreet about it: Do not say so and so is wrong because of this and that. Instead, say, I disagree with so and so and here are the reasons why I do...

I may at some point have a different blog for each period but we will stay with one to make things simple.
