[email protected]

IMPORTANT: Don't forget to finish up your summer assignment.  School will begin in just a few short weeks!  And, enjoy the rest of your summer break, I know I will!

Summer Blog Information!!!!!

Blog discussion topics will be posted on their corresponding novel pages.  For instance, we are starting our summer blogging with The Scarlet letter, so please go to that page to find the blog.  Blogs will be open for several days, so you do not have to worry about posting on a specific day, however once the blog is closed any postings listed after that date will not count for points.

1. We’ve all read the book (or should have), so please do not summarize the novel.

2. Refer to the text often, but make sure to use quotations marks and page references!

3. Always use academic language (no slang, emoticons, etc.).  And, yes punctuation and spelling count.

4. Be respectful to fellow bloggers.  It’s always okay to disagree, but maintain your ethos and stay mature.

5. SUPPORT, SUPPORT, SUPPORT!  If someone has a great idea that you can add too, then run with it!  We build on conversation by sharing ideas.

6. When referring to someone’s entry, please use @__________ before posting or we will not know who you are talking about.  (eg. @Mrs. Stogner-I totally disagree with your posting!  Hester Prynne is the epitome of an individual.  She only caves toward her daughter, because she loves her so much.)

7. Make sure to read what other people have posted.  If you post the same thing, your posting will not count.

8. Minimum requirement for each entry is two paragraphs.

9. Most importantly, don’t bother posting “filler” type of entries, also known as BS. 

Note: Blogs will be graded on length, specific detail, academic language, thoughtfulness and ingenuity of response.
