Blogging Guidelines

Each week--Wednesday or Thursday--you will be given a prompt here.

You will have until midnight on Sunday to post a 100-200 word response to the prompt. You are to provide thoughtful, insightful discussion--not a review of the book.

Label your posting: John Doe, Post One

The challenge: You may NOT repeat or paraphrase what has been stated by one of your colleagues. You may add to what has been said, but the ideas in your post must be completely original.

Posting early is to your advantage, as you will have a chance to get your ideas out there first.

I recommend that you write your post in Word so that you can spellcheck; then cut and paste here.

Your weekly post is worth 80 points.

By midnight the following Tuesday, you must respond to what two of your classmates have written.

Post your comments within the blog.

Comments must be at least 25 words and must not be simply an assessment of your peer's posting.

Comments are 10 points each, for a total of 100 points per week.

Label your comments: John Doe, Comment 1.
