Adding Blogs

This week I want you to add 5 blogs that you are going to follow throughout the semester. You may pick three friends, but I'd also like you to pick two blogs from people in our classes that you do not know. Then every week, you will have opportunities to see what they are posting and comment on their blogs. I also do not mind if you put other blogs on your list. For example if you find a political blog that you would like to follow then put it on your list.

Screencast on how to create a blog list.

Here is how to do it:
1. Go to the layout screen
2. Click on "add a gadget
3. Go down to "blogs list"
4. Then copy and paste the link and save it.

Good Luck

Heroes

Heroes are all around. They can be garbage men, postal workers, firemen, Superman, teachers, moms, dads, janitors, principals, baseball players, football players, bankers, street sweepers, hair stylists, people who put Dr. Pepper into Dr. Pepper cans, golfers, singers, sign makers, me, you. I'd like you to write a posting about your personal hero. Who do you look up to? Has it changed? Add pictures, video, etc, to make your posting that much more exciting. Like always, I want you to look at your classmates postings as well.
Have fun,
Mr. Lunn

Welcome

Welcome to the British Literature blog. I'm so excited about the 18 week journey that we are about to begin. I know that many of you might be apprehensive because of past experiences, but I assure you that if you work hard and stay on top of your assignments, you will be successful.

Blogging will be an important aspect of this class. We will use it to post ideas, and thoughts about life and literature. You will be creating your own blog and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

I'd like you to write an introductory paragraph on your blog. I'd like you to tell your classmates about yourself including your hobbies, favorite vacation, favorite novels, etc. (Funny stories are encouraged.)

Thanks,
Mr. Lunn
PS: Please write grammatically. You are not texting your best friend on a Friday night.
