This website was created for students, both to augment classroom learning, as well as to encourage learning outside the classroom. Therefore, students are expected to participate in dialogues, comment on posts, and think critically about any prompts. Because this is a public forum, there are some guidelines that need to be followed.
Students should not refer to themselves by their full names and should instead post anonymously when commenting on a post or on another students' work. In addition, students should not criticize their classmates comments, but instead be constructive, pointing out places where a student did well. This is not a formal discussion area, but correct grammar and punctuation are required, as this is an English class.
Participation will depend on the assignment. Mandatory posts will be assigned, but most often comments and questions are not required everyday. Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question!
Lastly, for parents, guardians, or extended family, comments and posts are not encouraged, as this is the students' area. However, if you have any questions, concerns, or would like to add to or explain something on the blog, simply contact me via email.
