You too can Blog!

This blog has been designed for my AP students. Each one of them will be setting up their own blog which will be viewed by the class.

Directions:
1. Log onto blogger.com and create a blog.
2. When you have created a blog, e-mail your blog site's address to Mrs. Silveira @ esilveira@assabet.org.
3. Each week a student will be assigned "blog-writing." Every student in the class must read and respond to that blog.
4. Write about any school-appropriate topic. Students can write descriptions, narratives, responses to current events, book reviews...anything.
5. Think of your message and how you will convey that message. Remember, your classmates will be analyzing your rhetoric.
6. Feel free to write when you are not assigned a review. I will post your address as an optional read for the class.

Criteria for Success:

• The blog is an appropriate length (250 word minimum).
• The blog is school-appropriate.
• The blog has a clear thesis/ message.
• The blog uses rhetorical devices to convey the message.
• The blog uses standard English mechanics.
• The blog has voice.
  

Remember, part of each student's responsibility is to comment on the blog. This will be a homework grade.

Happy blogging!
