Posting Requirements
* Answer the question fully or respond thoughtfully to another’s post using appropriate practices for published writing (This means concise explanations demonstrating precision in all the six traits: Ideas/Content, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Word Choice, and Conventions). See the rubric for exact expectations.
* You must respond to at least FOUR of the posted questions as well as connect to at least FOUR other student responses by the end of the quarter. Please use teacher responses as a model of how to respond to others (although they can look a lot like the ones you write in your partner-reading journal).
* Be timely. All posts are due by Friday, May 18
Enjoy this assignment, but also use it as a stepping-stone to gaining comfort with posting online. Forums and blogs are the fastest growing communication tool used by colleges and high schools. Working on one now, in the relative safety and obscurity of middle school, will only help you in future forum assignments.
