Ok, here we go.  Students in the advanced class will be blogging weekly from now on.  They will also be replying to their peers' blogs as well.  I encourage them to be kind and respectful and offer thoughtful responses as they write. 






  

This week's topic is all about following rules.  Here is the prompt: 

People get along better when they follow rules and laws. Imagine a place without rules or laws. What could go wrong in such a place? Be sure to give your blog a title as well as express your complete opinion. This is for a grade (as is everything).
If outside classes are interested in commenting on student blogs, please feel free to do so.  We are looking forward to collaborating with students from all over the world.

You may be wondering why we are going to be blogging this year.  Or, maybe you are thinking what will you blog about.  Read on and get an idea of what will be expected of you.  First of all, blogging isn’t just about writing posts; it’s about sharing your learning and reflecting on what you have discovered. 

Important parts of the blogging process include:
1. Read each others posts
2. Interact and comment on each others posts by challenging each others thoughts and views
3.Write posts in response to each others posts.

The class blog is the central hub that connects student blogs together; making it easier to share their learning, interact with each other and a global audience.
