1. You need to write at least 350 words. There is no maximum length limit.
2. You have to do this before 5pm on the day it is due, before we meet in class. See the syllabus.
3. You need to post at least 2 comments on other people’s reading responses. You have to sign these with your name, too. If you only post and do not comment, you’ll get half credit. Comments can be posted anytime before class. Comments should pertain to their writing and be anywhere from 3-10 sentences long.
4. You need to write on the topic we are discussing in class at the moment. As long as you are writing on-topic, you can write whatever you want, however you want. I won’t be grading you on spelling, grammar, organization, or any of the structures of academic writing, so use the blog to explore ideas you have about these broad topics and what we have read.
5. If for any reason you are having trouble posting (wordpress is jammed up, you can’t figure out how to do it, your computer crashes and dies) you have to find a way to email me the writing before the deadline. You will be expected to leave your comments by the end of the next day. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS, BARRING CATASTROPHE!
