What Should the Blog Look Like?

What should the blog look like?
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

1. Students are responsible for keeping track of when it is his/her time to blog.
2. Students are to comment and respond to one another, including asking questions or asking for clarification.
3. 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.

What does your blog grade mean?

• MASTERY (MAX): Great work, you nailed it! You covered an amazing multi-media summary of what happened in class using a clear, easy-to-read format. Most importantly, you absolutely included fantastic reflection which addresses all three main questions with depth beyond the classroom.
• APPROACHING (APP): Your summary got the general gist of what happened in class, but could definitely use some elaboration OR your formatting is not aesthetic OR your reflection may be basic (such as just reflecting on how it can be applied in your schooling instead of the real world). 
• DEVELOPING (DEV):  You probably didn’t include a reflective aspect at all or your summary was so minimal it was hard to have any idea what happened in class.
• NOT YET (NY):  Incredibly basic and/or the tone was rude, offensive, or inappropriate for a school, public blog.
• M: No blog written on your assignment day.

Can I fix my blog grade?

• 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.
