Blog Post Project Instructions

You will write to this Blogspot weekly for 14 weeks (1-September – 1-December).  For the first part of your contribution, you will write a short quotation from the week’s reading, or from the book on which you are writing your report, and include with the quotation the page number indicated or in the case of a video, include the minute/second point at which the quote can be found. Along with your quote, pose a question, comment, or challenge pertaining to the quotation.      

      

For the second part of your blog contribution you will respond to another student’s question, comment, or challenge about the quote that they posted. Your response to another’s question, comment, or challenge must be a minimum of 100 words. 

Students are strongly encouraged to read and respond to other students’ submissions in a timely manner. Late submissions, submissions less than 100 words or lacking substance, and submissions not appropriately submitted (for example sent to CANVAS rather than to the Blogspot) will not receive credit.  

There are no make-ups for online submissions, so submit yours early to ensure that a late developing event (e.g. illness, family emergency, etc.) does not prevent you from receiving credit.

Your initial post as well as your 100-plus word response to a fellow student’s question, comment, or challenge is due each Thursday by 12-noon, September 1-December 1. Your blog posts, initial and response, are worth 5 points each for a total of 70 points.
