Today, you should essentially have your blog ready to go and should be moving steadily forward. Use this checklist to be sure. If you cannot say "yes" to each of these things, see magistra for help:
- Blog is clear - either using blogger or on weebly with a CLEAR blog page
- Blog has been submitted using this form.
- Blog has 3 posts at this point (exception: 7th period should have 2 posts)
- You have commented/responded appropriately given the previous posts.
At this point, it is expected that you will complete the work each Friday it is assigned AND start to clean up your site. I will post brief suggestions for you, but it is up to you to ask questions, research things, and figure things out on your own - as you would with any creative project.
For today, you must:
- Check this list of blogs. If your blog is highlighted.... something is wrong with your blog. Check in with magistra ASAP.
- Choose a blog from the list that you haven't commented on before and comment with a DI question on their celebrity post from last week.
- Then, post a new post on your blog. Use Prompt 4. You may wish to look at:
*The Discipulus Illustris questions (which includes a NEW question!!!)
*Magistra's sample blog post about a character she enjoys.
- R, R, and R work (use the gradebook and the dropbox in eClass). **Required if you have less than a B in this class.**
- work on the look of your blog (suggestions below).
- If you've finished all this, you may work on something else.
This week's suggestions for your blog:
Remove any superfluous images from your site that were not added by you.
Remove any extra pages and buttons on your site.
Take your first blog post, refine it, and make an "about me" page where it will permanently live.
Remember: do not hesitate to ask questions if you run into trouble! That being said, make sure you read all the instructions, follow them, and look at the pages in front of you first. :)
