UPDATE: 09.09.09

Earlier today, I began grading your first three blog posts of the semester. By and large, the majority of you seem to be putting in the effort I expect for these assignments, and several of you have gone beyond the call of duty. Good job to all of you!

Furthermore, I would suggest surfing through your peers' posts to see how they might approach the material differently. Pay particular attention to those students who incorporate specific examples into their writing through quotation and/or dialoguing directly with elements of the primary source (i.e. video), etc.

While I do not want to harp on the following too much, there are a few of you who are either a) not meeting the minimum criteria, or b) simply not completing the assignments. As a reminder, each of these posts count as 1 point out of your 100 total for the semester. If you do not complete these assignments, or do not complete them fully, you will not receive credit. Remember, no late work will be accepted.

Finally, I would suggest that all of you take a look at the sidebar on my blog and compare it to yours. If particular "gadgets" are out of order, you have arranged students' names in a alternative order, or you are not utilizing the standard color scheme, please go back and revise your layout.

Anyway, I just want to mention that, all-in-all, you've begun the semester well. Keep up the good work.

PS: If you already haven't checked it out, please make sure to read and complete tomorrow's homework assignment in the post below.
