Posting Directions

Welcome to 7th grade Honors English. As a part of your summer reading, this blog is a forum for you to discuss The Giver while you are reading and after you complete reading.

Follow these guidelines:

• When you post, use your first name and last initial only. No last names, email addresses or other crucial identifying information. (Ex: Bobbert B.) Posts that do not follow this rule will not be published.
• Be reflective in your posts. Think about the guiding questions I ask. Reflect on your own thoughts. Consider the opinions and questions of others.
• Use this space to ask and answer questions you’re having, both while you read and after you get done.
• Use this space ONLY for blogging about summer reading. This is not a place for you to chat.
• Try not to reveal information about the text ahead of time. In other words, don’t be a spoilsport! If my questions are about Chapter One, your posts should be about Chapter One.
• Keep your comments and questions appropriate. (I will be forced to remove any posts that contain inappropriate language or comments. Don’t make me do it!)
• Enjoy yourself! Use this to learn something about the book, yourself, and your new classmates.

**Please Note: Your posting WILL NOT show up automatically. I will need to publish them. Be patient. I will attempt to publish posts every other day over the summer.
