- Setting up your Google folders
2. Conducting interviews with your partner of the week (save into your "General" folder)
3. Establishing our class blogging policies by exploring blogs of the past with your"I Like People" groups
a. Please peruse the post and the comments for the two blogs linked below. As you read quietly, think about which ones are strong and which ones are weak. What makes the strong ones strong, and what makes the weak ones weak?
Click HERE for a sample homework blog.
Click here for a sample fishbowl blog.

c. As a group, decide on FIVE specific blogging policies for this class that will help keep our blogs strong.
d. I will compile your answers and print them out for the class to sign.
4. Showing a little vulnerability and bravery with "If You Really Knew Me," your first blogging assignment
HW:
1. For TOMORROW:
- Please ask your parents/guardians to read and sign the course syllabus by Wednesday, August 22.
- Complete your "If You Really Knew Me" blog before class on today's class blog (click on "Comments" below).
2. If you have not yet done so, please complete the survey I e-mailed to you, linked HERE. Urge your parents to complete theirs, too (linked here). They're not due until Friday, August 24, but the sooner you fill yours out, the sooner I can be a better teacher to you.
3. Make sure you bring your charged LAPTOP to class each day, starting today.
In an effort to get to know each other and trust each other, I'd like you to take a little risk and post five things that you'd like other people in the class to know about you. The quirkier/more unique and personal, the better.
