Blog Guidelines

Guidelines:
• You will post a blog response for each reading assignment.
• Your topics will be posted to our class blog at http://tgibritlit.blogspot.com.
• Posts should be 200 words or more.
• All entries for the week must be posted by 3:00 pm on Friday.
• If you for any reason post after 3:00 pm on Friday, you must email me to let me know to check your work. You should also be aware that your work will be graded as late.
• You will respond to the entries of your classmates—at least one per week. This should be a well-developed, thoughtful response.
• You will receive credit for the quality of your posts, as well as your responses.

Basic Reminders:
• You must reflect on the reading and develop significant ideas, not simply recount the reading.
• Be aware that all posts are public domain. Anyone can see what you write. Accordingly, if you should have a personal or sensitive response to a certain portion of reading or assignment, you may email me that day’s entry instead of posting it to the Internet.
• Because this is a classroom assignment, please be respectful and adhere to the core values of University High School.

Extra Credit:
• You may earn extra credit for posting additional comments to your classmates’ blogs.
• Your responses must be to entries which have been posted in the current week.
• In this manner, you may earn up to 15 extra points per semester.
