How+democratic+was+Andrew+Jackson?+09

Day 1-Discuss EQ Should we define someone by their actions or their intentions? Then write blog post. Day 2- Discuss actions people in your past that influence your decisions? Find background info on AJ and do a psychological profile of AJ ;) as a post

Listen--be careful with the laptops, they are the best we have. If you have trouble turning them on hold the power key until the lights go off--count to five and turn on. Make sure everyone does not go on at the same time!! Be patient with the computers. Use the two desktops. If desperate, pair up to do post and then put on both blogs.

Please adjust the desks so that you can get to powercords--one per 2 computers

There is the extension cord with power strip in the back, and there is a powerstrip on the table near the bulletin board.

Fist make sure you read one of the two articles on Andrew Jackson. Second one is a better read but a bit longer. Then write a really good solid post on what type of President you think he will be based on previous experiences. Think of things Presidents do and then find things in his past that would predict how he would act. Be as specific as possible. Remember the new blogging rules.

When you are done, write two posts from [|this list] and then spend some time commenting on your classmates blogs--be professional, you are writing to the world.

PLEASE make sure the laptops are put away in an orderly fashion and plug them in!! See ya Monday!
