DIRECTIONS for Blog Activities:

1. Read an article posted to the right carefully. You may choose a 'related article' hyperlinked in blue if you like. Don't be afraid to bring information in from other articles you've read on the same topic!
2. Summarize your article, being sure to tell us SPECIFICALLY what you read (name of the article!). Offer an opinion about the article.
3. Pose a question, or offer a comment on the article in order to stimulate conversation and learning.
4. Somewhere in your post, respond to someone else's ideas in a meaningful way!

Use your rubric to assure success! Remember- proper conventions are a must. Avoid shortcut lingo that might be appropriate for other social media.

These are simply places to start:
