Welcome to the blog!

Alright, folks! A new school year is beginning and that means homework! Okay kids, stop cheering.... I said stop cheering.... How can I assign homework when you won't stop cheering?Anyways, your blogs will give you an avenue to share your thoughts on course material with your classmates. You will also be using your blog to give weekly reports on your silent reading by answering questions supplied by the teacher and also expressing your own opinion on what you are reading.
The first task is to experiment a bit with your blog and set it up how you want it. To get to the settings, click on the big 'B' at the top of this page. This will take you to the blogger dashboard. Check out the 'Settings' and 'Layout' tabs that will allow you to experiment with the design of your page. You can also add a user profile where you can talk about some of your interests.

Once you have fooled around with the blogger page, visit some of your classmates' blogs. Post comments on what they have done or on how they have set up their blog. Try to expand who you know in the class, though! Meet new people and learn a little bit about them! Who knows? The person you get to know could be a group member one day....
