Assignment for Periods 2 and 7!

Dear Periods 2 and 7,

Good morning (or, good afternoon, as the case may be...)! You have several tasks to complete on this lovely Wednesday (our last lab day). Here they are, in the order in which they should be completed:

1. Make sure your link works from our home page. If it does not, please let me know so we can correct the problem. (If you already did this step, please move on to Number 2.)

2. Using the "New Post" feature on your "Dashboard," please create at least one new post (a rough draft, a WN entry, your "I am From/For" poem, etc.).

3. Take some time to explore your friends' and neighbors' blog pages. Poke around in the work of Periods 1, 2, and 7. Leave some meaningful feedback to your peers on their work! (Comment on the work of at least 5-8 individuals.)

4. Access your HP e-mail account and send me a message (hstrout@hpregional.org). Tell me something you liked about your classmates' posts. Also, e-mail me an original metaphor (in preparation for our next unit of study). From there, please tell me something about your day, a favorite (appropriate!) joke, the kind of music you are listening to right now, something neat you can do, etc. Remember: You are e-mailing an English teacher. Please use proper capitalization and punctuation in your note!
