Have you taken time to browse through our classroom sites to learn more about each other? Today you will be challenged to first proofread your own site, your posts, your pictures. Review your book responses and check for spelling (there is a spell check button) and sentence structure. Explain why you posted the picture you did for your book. Explain the quotation you chose, why you chose it and what it means to the story. Does your title include the title of your book? Do you briefly give your readers a summary that will clarify what's going on, who is in your story, and where and when it is taking place without retelling the whole story? Why did you chose the book?
You are earning credit for your "10 or more things about me" post and also your comment on the Rules of Safety post (mine), your posts and remarks about Poe and Owl Creek Bridge, and your blog post about your book you are currently reading.
When you are satisfied you have completed the assignments to the best of your ability, your job is to get to know each other by reading all the other blogs in our class. Last class I included a scavenger hunt for your proof of reading! However, many of you simply asked each other for answers. That's NOT the point. That's not how you were supposed to learn about each other. Today in the library, you will silently converse with each other by posting appropriate and kind comments regarding the writing. You have posted information on the blog, and your audience is made up of each other. Please READ each other's posts and do not talk!
