1st Block 8/25

Your blogs look great! I have commented on each one and popped in a grade for you. I want you to get in the habit of checking MY blog to see what we are up to.

Here's what we want to get after today:

1. Edit your blog post after reading my comments.
   
2. Using headphones, watch 2 videos: " Digital Text" and "Did You Know?"
3. Write your next blog post using at least 3 new cool ideas you picked up by watching the videos. We will have our FIRST round table discussion using our SocSem guidelines and your ideas from watching this. I will set a time so be sure to focus, watch, then write your post.
   

If time (I hope) we will set up Shelfari. It is not too hard.

• You go to the Shelfari site first.
  
• Find the "More Content" button to the left.
• Go to "Your Widgets"
• Go to "Create New Widgets
• Go to "Get Started" READ what this says. We can also alter the size of the graphic, which I had to do. This will be FUN!

4. BEFORE YOU LEAVE TODAY (all caps means shouting and I am not really doing that!) Carefully select a coming of age novel to add to your Shelfari. If you don't get Shelfari up and running today, we will finish on Friday.

Did You Know?

After you watch this video, Go to New Post and write a reaction. Mention at least 3 things that stood out to you. Then, read classmates reactions and comment on everyone's. Go for it!
