 My first official Blog post of the year and I am way behind some of you.  Thank you to those of you keeping up with your Blog each week and writing about our historical topics.  I have even awarded some of you badges on Edmodo for your consistent posting.  Keep up the great work.  If you have not created one or do not use your Blog regularly, please join us in the world of Journal Blogging!

I will post the questions and requirements for specific assignments on here from now on, as well as on your weekly homework sheet.  In addition, I will provide links and shout-outs to students on here.  Who knows?  I might also decide to include hints for class, extra information, and study links here, too.  

As you can see, I am not in school today (Friday), but you are still expected to work on your Blog which is due, completed and edited (PLEASE use my comments and suggestions from your drafts!) today, Friday, January 18!  I will be grading these this weekend and look forward to seeing the payoff of all of your drafts, writing studies, and hard historical work!

If you do not have a Blog, please ask a member of your class to help you create one today.  Make sure to send the link to me so I can check your final post.  If you are not currently receiving any feedback on your Blog posts, you MUST email me the link (@.blogspot.com or @.livejournal.com) in order for me to see your work!
