Our goal today is to become members, write our first post, and learn to respond to others on this blog. Basically this first post will help us get to know each other, and begin a good habit to use blog writing and its features.
Here's the prompt, and you'll also find this information and more on the handout I give to you in class.
JOURNAL TWO
--For your
first post on our blog, write a paragraph where you introduce yourself, tell us some things
that help us know you more, and share a fun fact about you. Also, please
post a simple photo of yourself, so we can always come back to this and
associate your name with your face and introduction. Again, the blog will just be for our class
and I will adjust the privacy and search settings.
--In the
next paragraph, respond to the reading in The House on Mango Street so
far. What theme or idea stood out to you
in these first chapters? Where did you
feel the writing as at its best? Share
your observations.
--When you are finished, publish your post, and then read other posts on the blog and write Comments to two other people in the class. Try to respond to something specific, or add to or connect to something that has been written. This isn’t Facebook where you just Like things or put smiley faces. In blogging, try to actually have a little conversation through the use of your Comments.

I am very impressed that you managed to take a picture in Florida that did not include kudzu of any kind.
ReplyDeleteCan you say "invasive species"?! Totally. There really should be a python climbing somewhere in this picture also as that is another invasive outsider taking over the everglades.
