Periodically throughout the semester, I will direct you to this blog to read and post a comment. You will use your student ID to post comments. I will show you the format I would like you to use during class.

Blog postings (at least in this class) calls for formal writing. By formal I mean spelling out all the words (no "u" for "you"), complete sentences, and capital letters where appropriate.

For your first comment post, I will would like you to refer to the Blog Worksheet that you completed. Write a brief description of one of the blogs you found and link to the blog. Please share with the class why you picked this particular blog. Your blog comments will be graded using the following rubric:

4 - Answers the assignment clearly and completely. Uses examples and details to get point across. No grammatical and/or spelling errors.

3 - Answers the assignment and includes a couple of details to support post. No grammatical and/or spelling errors.

2 - Attempts to answer the assignment but does not give any examples or details. No grammatical and/or spelling errors.

1 - Posts a response but does not include any supporting details. Post has grammatical and/or spelling errors.

0 - Does not respond to the blog posting.
