At the beginning of each class period for 10 minutes, students will type an entry into their blog. This is called Bell / Blog work. In order for an entry to be counted toward your grade, it must concern a question I have posted on my website.
Students will use proper English in their blog entries. Grammatical errors will not be counted off of this daily blog grade, however students should respond to my guidance (that I will post in the comments section under any student posting needing guidance) on their blog with an acknowledgment (Students should post these in a subsequent comment).
Students will use the subsequent 5 minutes, to review blog entries of their schoolmates and will make appropriate comments and suggestions in thier schoolmate’s blogs. Students may access links to their classmate’s blogs through the Student Blog Sites link on my website. These comment must concern the question of the day and be of a technical or grammatical nature; Students who make comments on their own blog or other student’s blogs that are not technical or grammatical nature will be counted against the student’s Bell / Blog Work grade. Any student that has presented a question in their blog post that they want their schoolmates to respond to, may draw attention to their post by posting a Help Request through the Help Request link on my website www.mrsstovall.com. During this time, students should check the Student Help Request link on my website to see if one of their schoolmates has requested help.
If the student is absent, he will still be responsible for his daily blog. If the student does not have access to a computer to complete this task from home on the day of the absence, he will have 3 days after his return to school to attend my afternoon tutorial session to make a blog entry. He will label this “Make up blog entry for xx/mm/yyyy.
