Feicky's Book Club...




Good morning, Bloggers, and welcome to your first official blog post assignment. Please complete steps 1 and 2. Easy, eh?

1. Today you are to choose one book that you find inspirational, sensational, emotional, or just plain good and explain why you would recommend it. Be sure you know the title and author of the book, and give us your best pitch as to why it should be read. Don't give too much of the plot away, though!

As with each of your posts, aim for 200 words, organized paragraphs, accompanying images and a captivating writing style. You are to write a minimum of ONE BLOG POST per week, even if we do not have in-class time to work on them. Topics and due dates will be posted on my blog site, so check there each week. You are welcome to blog more than once a week. In addition to writing your posts, you will respond to classmates' blogs. I will give you more information on this next week once I have links to everyone's site ready to post.

2. Once you have completed the above, check out the blog sites I've posted below and acquaint yourself with a gimpse of the varied world of blogging. Jot down point form reactions (like/hate/meh) to them in your notebooks. We'll be discussing them next day.

Finally,don't forget: Opinion Pieces due Oct 3

Welcome, Bloggers!

If you've made it this far--to my site--you're on the right track! There are no blog assignments yet, aside from setting up your own site. Be creative, explore the program in order to learn it, ask me and your peers questions and have fun. I'll be giving you blogging etiquette and instructions next time.

Peace!
Feicky
