Welcome to the big bad world of blogging!

Hello everyone and welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will serve as a weekly online journal entry. It will be a way to earn points for Language Arts class but SO much more. It will be a way for you to get your voice out there! Every week there will be a discussion topic/question posted by yours truly and it will be your job to respond. Your response may be in direct relation to the topic or may be a comment about another student's response. The topics will vary but your job will remain the same. Respond to the topic in as much detail as you find necessary and in as genuine a matter as possible!

In order to receive the credit you justly deserve, when you post make sure your full name is listed.

BLOG #9 2/7-2/11

1/2 block only...



Let's start thinking about our BIG OLD RESEARCH PAPER. You get to pick the topic you will write about. The only requirement is that you research an issue in the Bill of Rights. Maybe you will write about banning the Death Penalty, or reducing gun control laws. Maybe you will research corporal punishment or maybe you will write about school uniforms. This is your choice but you must pick wisely, as you will be living with this topic for several weeks.

For this blog, I want you to brainstorm some topic choices and ask for feedback from the class. Your post must be two sentences minimum in length, but please return to respond to others!


As always, blog By Friday morning!
