Look here from now on!

We will no longer use Blackboard for anything except its gradebook function. This blog will host the class syllabus, homework assignments, and other goodies related to the class. Sometimes you will post comments to posts on this blog, sometimes you will post in your own blogs.

Today in class you will break up into your writing groups, write a group contract, and create your own blogs.

Here is your homework, due by 9am on Friday:

• Set up your blog, posting a picture in your profile (See your Dashboard for directions)
• Comment on this post with the url of your blog
• Post your Group Contract in your blog (See the next Post for more about this)
• Extra Credit Opportunity: Customize your blog by deleting the Google News link and substituting in a link to the English 12.018 blog. This will earn you 1 point on your Unit 1 participation grade. (You may complete this any time during Unit 1.)
