Hello Sixth Period Englisheers!
Let's try this blog posting thing one more time! :) Hopefully, we have most of the kinks worked out...
You need to click the "Comments" button below to add your current event assignment. Simply copy and paste the citation, summary, and reflection (do not include the heading) from your Word document into your comment. In addition to posting your original comment, you must read at least one of your classmates' posts and comment on their article. Your comment on your classmate's post should be like a mini-reflection...what do you think of the article? This comment should be at least 2 sentences long.
Feel free to comment on more than one classmate's post! I would love to see lots of thoughtful discussion. This blog will be as interesting, helpful, and fun as YOU decide to make it!
Remember, these blog comments are worth 20 points of your grade for your current event assignment.
Be sure to use complete sentences and proper grammar--NO texting lingo allowed! And remember to be polite to your classmates!
I'm looking forward to reading all of your comments!

This blog will serve as a fun way for us to interact with each other and go deeper into topics we learn about during class time! A few specific ways we will use this blog are:
- I may post a POLL for you to participate in that will help me gage how well the class understood the day's lesson.
- I may post a QUESTION that you will be asked to respond to for homework.
- I may post a VIDEO or other link that further explains what we discussed in class.
- Part of your Current Event Assignments will be posting to this blog and interacting with your classmates' posts. (You will hear more about this assignment later!)
