Thank you for checking out this blog. This is intended to be a teaching tool for my classes. Just a few quick rules. First, be respectful, tolerant and positive in your comments. Remember that this is an open blog and anyone (including your classmates) can see what you write. Do a good job! Second: You must post to my blog to earn your full class participation grade for that day. We blog on many, but not all days. Thirdly, your comments must be grammatically correct and spelled properly. Fourth: have fun!
Tell us what you think of this. For this and all comments, remember to respond using a full paragraph (3-5 sentences).
sounds like it will be fun Mr. Downing! I think it will be fun to blog everyday about different things. Maybe we can show each other funny videos as well. I am excited now!

I personally believe that this idea is very good thought and can benefit many students, adults, and school officers. The Blog can allow all that are involved experience the opportunity to use our minds to express our opinions. Expressing our opinions on funny, political, and other stories and information can lead us to finding our place in society.
ReplyDeleteI think the blog is a good idea and is going to be a great experience. I can't wait to see the different post we are going to be able to blog about this nine weeks. This blog is a great way for us students to see each others opinions on certain things.

I like that we get to speak freely about the subject that Mr. Downing chooses. I think this is going to be a very fun activity for us to do. All in all I think that this blogging thing is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good way to show many people that everyone has their own opinion and it is a good healthy way to express them. This blog is also a potential way of meeting other class mates and learn how to coexist together without arguing. It also teaches us to be respectful and mindful of other people.

This could go either way. Some people will actually respond to the posts. Some people won't even reply.

I think this blog is a fantastic way to express our opinions and look at things from a different perspective. The blog will also benefit our grades greatly just by sharing our thoughts and learning new things. I hope other teachers take advantage of this brilliant idea and create a blog.
