Mrs. Whetstone's Blog http://historicalchat.edublogs.org Another excellent Edublogs.org weblog Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:37:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 en hourly 1 Rules and Regulations for Blogging! http://historicalchat.edublogs.org/2009/10/27/rules-and-regulations-for-blogging/ http://historicalchat.edublogs.org/2009/10/27/rules-and-regulations-for-blogging/#comments Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:26:25 +0000 historicalchat http://historicalchat.edublogs.org/?p=45 Now that we know how to blog, we are going to work on the procedure itself and producing a quality blog. Follow the rules below on every blog.

1. Read the question carefully and make sure you answer all required parts.

2. Your blog must be at least 3 sentences. Think through your answer and produce a complete thought.

3. Proof your blog carefully. I would suggest typing in a word document first so you can access spell check and then copy and paste onto the blog.

4. I will deduct for the following items:

        *Capitalization- Watch the beginnings of your sentences and I. These are the most commonly missed.

        *Punctuation- Your sentences should flow and make sense.

        *Spelling Errors- You will lose one point for each one found in your blog.

        *Not Enough Detail- Make sure you have the required number of sentences and have included valid details.

        *Slang or informal language- Examples might include kinda, cuz, cool, stuff,”texting” lingo! No abbreviations!

PLEASE REMEMBER THE GUIDELINES FOR EVERY BLOG FROM NOW ON!  YOU NEED TO BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU POST! I WILL CORRECT YOUR MISTAKES BEFORE I POST YOUR BLOG! FOR EVERYTHING I CORRECT, YOU ARE LOSING POINTS! PROOF! PROOF! PROOF YOUR WORK!
