1.3 ASSIGNMENT: Start Science Blogging (Due August 31)

ASSIGNMENT: Start Science Blogging 

10 points

Instructions: 

We will be using blogs as our science journal this year.  Each week you will be required to write one blog post.  I will give you the topic to write about for most weeks.  In some cases, you may just be reflecting on what you have learned. You will be using a blog that is only associated with this course; it is not set up on an outside platform.  This blog will only be visible to students in the course.  I encourage you to read and comment on blog posts from other students in this class.  You will be posting in your blog and then submitting a link to your blog for assignment.

Blog Guidelines:

• Each blog post should be at least one paragraph (3-5 sentences minimum).
  
• Use complete sentences, proper grammar and punctuation.
  
• All posts/comments must be respectful.  Vulgarity or rudeness will result in school disciplinary action.
  

Week 1 Blog Topic:  For this first post, you will be introducing yourself.  Tell me about your favorite classes at school, what types of extra-curricular activities (clubs, sports, music, etc.) you are involved in, what you want to be when you grow up.
