Welcome, welcome, welcome. This assignment format is most likely unlike any other you have had before, but is on the cutting edge. That means, when you get to college, you'll be one step ahead of your peers.
Here is your chance to be you. It is a chance to experience reading different writing styles, experiment writing with different styles, and a chance to show your classmates how you express yourself with the written word. Weekly, I will present the class with a prompt that you will be required to not only respond to in writing, but also respond to a classmate's blog entry as well. Here are the requirements, also outlined on the class website-- ruggieri.teach-nology.com
1. Blog assignments will be posted by Wednesday each week on this website. To recieve full credit for the assignment you must first answer the prompt in at least 250 words. During the second quarter, blogs will be every other week, but double the length.
2. Also, within the week, you should try to read as many of the posts from your classmates as possible. At the minimum, however, you must read and respond to at least TWO of your classmates, totaling 50 words or more.
3. The grading rubric for this assignment is on the class website.
Notice how you can change the letter size, color, and even add pictures (if you read up on how to do it. By the way, that's my son working on his blog homework. Yeah, four months old and he's doing it, so please, no excuses. ;-)).

You can also spell check, so at least give us all the dignity of a slight clean-up. Spell check doesn't catch everything, but it's a start.
You begin this process by clicking on the "posting"tab, then click on "create." When you are finished, click "publish post" at the bottom.
When you want to respond to someone when reading the responses on the site, just click on the "comment" hyperlink after their response and your editing page will pop up. If you didn't log in, it will prompt you to do that first.
If you are struggling from home, email questions to me at home.
Can't wait to read and respond to some of the posts. Remember, the more serious you take this, the better writer you will become. There is no substitute for practice!
