Blog+Assignments

Remember that this is the wiki -- so as you go through these directions if you can figure out a way to say part of them better...please make the change. Any advice or questions can be left on the discussion tab.

Ok. That is simple right? You find a blog and read it.
 * Post #1** is very different -- it will be on one blog written about any topic that you choose -- not another students'. You can do a simple google search for blog and the topic. For example, I found a very interesting [|blog] when I googled "blog + insect."

Next step 1-comment the blogger and let them know what you thought about the blog post. 2-On your blog write about what you thought of the post you read. What blogs did you consider, how did you stumble upon the one you used, what did you learn, describe any thoughts on it. Include a quote from the post you read (indent and highlight it -- I will show you how to do this in class). Follow the quote with why it is important in helping you make your point. Also, include a verbatim copy of the comment you left for the blogger. And of course, a picture and link to the blog.

Email a company or organization a question and blog about why you picked the company, the question, and the response. If you do not have email use the shaggyhill+ and tell me you did so I can watch for the response. Search for the company's website and look for the "contact" link. If you need to use the team email account because you cannot email directly from the site, write down the email address and see me 8th period or tutorial.
 * Post #2** is even more challenging...

I will discuss both of these posts in detail during Monday's class.
