Evolution

Explain whether people can change. Move beyond the physical changes people experience and delve into beliefs, outlooks, impressions, and characteristics.

Welcome Back to Blogging!

As you know, blogging is a form of on-line journaling. This time around the criteria is a little different for this blog.

A few things to keep in mind for each comment you post:

- When you post, be sure to include your first name and last initial (only) with your response. For example, Jenny V.

- The "Areas of Focus" Rubric will be used to assess your posts throughout this novel study. Ms. Lawler and I will look at all areas when reviewing your comments: problem solving; communicating effectively; quality of work; cooperating learning; and creating meaning.

- Each post will require two responses from you. The first response will be your reaction and answer to the post. The second response, which will be completed after reading all entries, will be your reaction to at least two of the comments posted. In your second response, be sure to include the name of whom you are addressing. For example, "I like Jenny's response, but I disagree with her comment about..." Be respectful but honest with your thoughts and expressing your opinions.

- Deadlines will need to be met for each post or you will lose participation points.

Looking forward to your posts,

Mrs. V.
