How in the heck do I do this?

First, respond to a posting, using the guidelines below.

Then, pick a different post. Use the guidelines below. Read it and read what a classmate wrote. Piggyback on his/her comment. Mark, I agree that...because....OR Catherine, I thought your point was interesting because....

Guidelines aka Blog Requirements:

• Content—say something original. If you agree or disagree, use a different reason why. No credit will be given for unoriginal responses or responses that don’t possess credibility.
• Reponses should be at least (or around) 80 words.
• Academic tone—keep it professional and friendly.
• Grammar & mechanics—Keep in mind this is English class, not a gathering for text-messagers. Spellcheck and proofreading are always in style.
• Due by midnight of the day due—Any post that is put on later will be given NO credit; I give you more than enough time to do this--so do NOT wait until the last minute. The library is open before and after school. Study hall is a great time to use a research pass.
• Must include an author name. I’m not psychic.
