Welcome and Blog Guidelines

Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to Room 23's Literature Blog. This blog will introduce students to Web 2.0 tools to interact and collaborate in the digital world. To enrich their understanding of literature, we will be using this blog to pose questions and discussions about novels, famous quotes and possibly other curricular areas as the year progresses.

Please use this only for school-related communication. This is not a chat room or a Facebook social networking page. Keep in mind that everything you write here can be seen by your classmates and teacher. Please do not post anything on this blog that you wouldn’t say or write in our classroom. Remember to be respectful when responding to other students' comments.

Parents, please note that I will be moderating all comments. Students will be signing their comments with their first name only.

Editing Checklist
After you are finished revising your piece for content, read through your writing and edit for spelling, punctuation, and grammar.

• I have used the spell check tool and made my corrections
• I began each sentence with a capital letter.
• I have used capital letters for names of specific people or places.
• I have ended each sentence with correct punctuation ( . ? ! )
• I have not started any sentences with “And…” or “Then…”
• I have indented paragraphs.

Ask yourself....

• Does your post have a title?
• Did you choose one (1) topic and stick to it?
• Did you include specific details from your book or sharing?
• Did you edit for capitalization, punctuation, spelling, etc.?
• Is this your very best work?

Enjoy!
