Welcome to Blogging!

We will be using this blog as another way to communicate with eachother... kind of like a writing journal.  You will be asked to read my posts and add your comments.  Feel free to read the comments your classmates have left. 

Even though we are on the internet, in this arena you must still use the conventions of good writing in your comments. That means no IM language, use capitals & proper punctuation and check your spelling. Before you publish your comment, you will be asked to Choose an Identity. I want you to select______________! If these requirements are not met, you will not earn points for your posting!

Let's start right now and ease into it. Write about your first impression of 8th grade and what your goals are for this year.  Whatever you write about, try to give us a visual picture with your words so that we can clearly see your descriptions!

Requirements:  You must write at least 5 well-written, complete sentences in your comment.
