Dear Students and Families,
I am so excited to welcome you to my 2020 classroom blogging initiative! Student blogging has an important role in our classroom because each student will function as a "scribe" and be responsible for group learning.
We had a great deal of success with posting blogs in 2019. Check out our journey on YouTube:
Goals:
- To become effective global communicators.
- To have every voice speak with the same volume.
- To summarize and reflect upon each day's lesson.
- To become responsible digital citizens.
- To become creators of information.
Student Scribes:
- One student will be responsible for writing a blog each day which includes:
- The date
- Your FULL NAME and class period
- The aim
- Notes for the day
- MOST IMPORTANT:
- Student reflection of the day's lesson:
- What did I learn?
- Why did I learn it?
- How will I use what I learned?
- Student's full name and blogger number
- **Students MUST LABEL their blogs using (at least) one of the appropriate labels:
- Modern Mythology 2020
- Sophomores 2020
- Announcements
- Students are responsible for keeping track of when it is his/her time to blog.
- Students are to comment and respond to one another, including asking questions or asking for clarification.
- Blogs will be published on the world wide web, so we must practice digital citizenship and remember that our audience GLOBAL, so our tone is FORMAL.
- Blogs will receive a letter grade within 7 days of publication based on the rubric above.
- Blogs may be revised, edited, and updated if the student would like an opportunity to improve his/her grade. IF the student does opt for a revision, he/she MUST EMAIL ME with a direct link to the published blog to inform and notify me to check the blog again.
I look forward to a fun and productive school year!
Mrs. Fusaro-Pizzo
