Some Tips

• Each blog post has to have its own original title. You cannot use titles used by other students.
• Put spaces between your paragraphs. Indentations don't seem to work.
• Each post must be between two and five paragraphs long. A paragraph is considered to be five to seven sentences long.
• I will provide you with some prompts, but there will be times that you have to gather your own thoughts for a blog post.
• The best blog posts make references to class texts (literary and visual) and class discussions.
• The tone of these posts should be somewhere between an analytical essay and a personal essay. It is okay to use first person.
• You will write two comments on posts written by other people. Each comment must be at least a paragraph in length.
• I will grade your posts and comments according to a rubric provided by the National Council of Teachers of English.
• On the day that posts and comments are due, I will hand out a sheet in which I need you to write down your real name, blog name, the EXACT title of your posts, and the EXACT date of your posts and comments. I need this information so that I can grade your posts and comments in a timely fashion.
• Remember that you are member of an educational community. Treat your community members with respect.
