Writing Center: Letters and Blog Postings

Today and tomorrow we will be in the Writing Center catching up on all our writing projects.

There are a series of tasks that you must complete over the next few days:

1. Letter of Thanks. You need to follow the guidelines and formatting criteria outlined in letter that is linked in this post. Print one copy, have it proofread by another student, make corrections and reprint. Turn in by the end of class Wednesday.

2. Interpretation Essays. You need to revise your interpretation essays making corrections based on Ms. Turcotte's comments and recommendations for grammar and spelling. Post your final essays to your blog. Go to blogger.com and sign in using your email and password.

Reminder: For those of you who did not create a blog, Ms. Turcotte created one for you. Your username is fhsmyth#@gmail.com. Your password is turcotte.

3. Finish your Non-Verbal Representation (NVR). See earlier postings on this blog for instructions. Publish your NVR to your blog. If you did a Powerpoint, you will need to save your file as a picture.

4. Mythology Academic Vocabulary. Enter your vocabulary words and definitions as another new post on your blog. Write vocabulary definitions in complete sentences. Also, provide examples for each term using a complete sentence.

5. Blog Comments. View other mythology student blogs by visiting fhsmyth.blogspot.com. Click on the comment link at the end of each post and leave an supportive and academic comment for your peers. Read their essays. Look at their NVR's. Compare definitions and examples.

6. If you finish early. Create links for your definitions and examples to online dictionaries, wikipedia, and other great websites related to mythology. Or explore Twitter, Gabcast, and/or Voicethread, which are great web tools that I want to use. What do you think about them? Leave me a comment here.
