Today we talked about blogs and practiced posting one. Every week or two we will have an assigned blog that we have to do. We have to include 2 pictures, 2 sources, and make sure to break it into paragraphs. Daily blogs are done in class and we get 2 points every day for this. Every 2 weeks we have to do 10 message board posts. By the first time that Bruns grades our websites we have to have our page personalized.
There are lots of opportunities for extra credit. You can get this by doing well on our ITED's. You can do extra message board posts also. However you can only do this during 4th quarter. Another way is to make the top 20 on the leader board list. You can also comment on other peoples blog posts. Make sure to send the links to Bruns that you comment on so he can keep track of it.
The semester test will be oral and you also have to type a blog about it. The semester will be about 16% of our final grade. After presentations in class we will do oral evaluations just to see how you are doing. Bruns does not accept late work. Normally assigned blogs are due on Sunday at 11:59 but if you have a study hall 1st hour you might be able to get away with it. But because our class is 2nd hour you might not want to risk it.
Our assigned blog post will be about the cause of the great depression. My individual thing to look up will be number 13 which is about the background of Hoover.
