It is in these posts where you will find the instructions for the reading and responding assignments that you will complete this year.
Please remember that all of your posts should go on your own blog rather than the class blog. The class blog will be used only for instructional purposes.
A few words about your upcoming blog posts: Because we are dealing with an online audience, your posts should be concise and relatively short (between 100-150 words). This will mean that you will have to be very precise in your writing. Get to your point quickly, adding only those details necessary to describe or explain the main focus for your entry.
TASK ONE: Before you begin blogging, take a look at the "Get Your Blog On!" list in the sidebar to your right which will link you to a number of blogs written by teens about books and reading.
Click around...see what blogs are out there, then come back to this page to get your TASK TWO instructions!!!
The pages listed on the TOP BAR will provide you with the introductory activities to get you ready to manage your own blog.
TASK TWO: Click on the page entitled "Introduction to Blogging" to begin your journey into the weblog world. When you are done reading what is required on each page, follow the instructions at the bottom to complete your next assignment.
