Guidelines for Posting to this Blog

1) All postings should be written carefully and professionally. No "LOL" or "u" instead of "you." This is a blog, but it is also an AP Literature class and preparation for posting like this you might be asked to do in college. Spell words correctly (this site has Spell Check) and use correct grammar, punctuation, etc.

2) All postings must relate to our class. Please do not post links to funny youtube videos, your facebook page, etc.

3) When responding to what other students write, be respectful and constructive. Do not write: "What Sarah wrote was stupid."  Instead, "I disagree with Sarah's idea that _____ because ________."

4) When responding to what other students write, it is fine to say "I agree with Mark." However, this needs to be followed with an explanation AND the presentation of A NEW IDEA.

5) Cite when you quote from a text. If it is clear what text you are citing from, the page # is sufficient. Otherwise, author and page #.

6) Posts that count for homework credit must be a minimum of 100 words.

7) Your name on this site should be your real first and last name.

8) Be thoughtful, daring and creative!
