Introduction

Hello All!

Here are the guidelines for answering Blog Questions:

1. All questions must be answered in complete paragraphs.  I am looking for a topic sentence that tells the reader what your paragraphs is about, strong details, transitional phrases and a concluding sentence.

2.  When answering the question, you MUST use direct evidence from the text.  This means you are to take, word for word, from the text.  You must follow MLA format, which states that at the end of each sentence you should contain the author's last name and page number. 
"Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance" (Austen 14).

3. Read the rubric.  This will show you how you are being graded.  Match you responses to the rubric in order to be sure you are on track. I DO NOT accept late response. I do offer constructive feedback 3 days prior to the final deadline (email by Tuesday 11:59 pm, I will offer feedback to improve your response by Friday 11:59 pm.) 

4.  Please make sure your first and last name are included in your response.  If your screen name is BDizzle, I will have absolutely no idea who you are.  As BDizzle is not a name in my Gradebook, he or she will get a zero.  Just type your name at the bottom of each response UNLESS your name is your screen name.  

5. To answer the blog you must first FOLLOW my page, then add your response as a comment.  If you are not following my blog, you will not be able to comment on the page.  If you post your response in any other spot but the "follow" option, I will not be able to grade it. 

6. Your responses will first be emailed to me, then will be posted after the deadline.  If you do not see a "I am not a robot" code when your submit your blog, something went wrong.  The most common examples of this is when students use an ipad, but do not use the Blogger app. I will periodically check my email over the summer; email with any questions or concerns.
