Blog Guidelines

Blog Guidelines
In order for our blog to be successful, it needs to be a place where ALL students feel comfortable sharing his/her ideas and comments. Below you will find the guidelines and consequences for our class blog. Let's all make an effort to follow the guidelines and keep our blog a fun and respectful discussion environment.

GUIDELINES:

1. Use respectful, clean, and appropriate language in your postings.

2. Stay on topic:
Do not post personal comments about your weekend, other classes,etc. (this
includes calling each other by nicknames)

3. Respect other's opinions and views:
It is okay to disagree with a person's point of view, but make sure you are
respectful in the way you comment - don't bash their ideas.
Example: "I appreciate your view on the character's
personality, however,in my opinion I feel that the character's personality is a result of ..."

4. Follow the assignment questions and guidelines.
Example: if the assignment is to write a paragraph discussing
the character's personality - write a well thought out paragraph NOT 3 or 4
paragraphs

5. Have fun! Use this opportunity to discuss with fellow students and view literature from multiple perspectives.
