Expectations for the blog assignment

August 26, 2008

The prompt: Not every prompt will be to your liking, but you must get in practice so that you can learn to write about anything!

The length: I'm not counting the number of sentences, but I DO expect every blog you write to have support for what you say. Its like I said in class: your opinion is fine, but you MUST support it in order for it to be valid.

Spelling, punctuation, word choice: If you don't know how to spell something, it's okay to use creative spelling (or you COULD look it up or ask someone). Use capital letters and punctuation. I expect you to use the best word choices that you can.

Due date: The new writing topic will be posted each Wednesday afternoon and the response will be due by the following Wednesday morning. This gives you SEVEN DAYS to complete this assignment.

IF your computer is not working or you have been temporarily barred from using it at home, you can always ask to use the computer at school OR you can write your response on paper and hand it in to me. Do not wait for me to ask you for the work...it won't happen!

If you have questions, ask me in class or respond to this post.
