The following are the guidelines with which you will need to comply whenever you are journaling using your ICT II Blog.
- Be sure that you are writing a response to an article designated by your instructor, and none other.
- In your writing, you need to include a complete summary of the article you read in your own words. Never copy and paste from the article into your blog.
- After the summary of the article, you need to include one of the following - according to your teacher's instructions:
- How the article made you feel - a reaction to the information presented.
- Your opinion about the article - make sure you substantiate your thoughts and be very complete. Never be arbitrary, such as writing that you "liked" the article. You need to talk about the article and give reasons, and whys.
- Be sure to give the name of the article as the Title of your Post.
- Write in complete sentences and paragraphs! This is High School - you need to have content in your writing. Don't feel that a couple of sentences is going to receive a passing grade.
- Check for spelling, grammar, capitalization and punctuation. Errors will result in a lower grade. Hint: write your posting in a Word Document first, then copy and paste into your Blog Post. Word will help with grammar and spell-check better than a Blogging Tool.
