Intro to Fiction and Intro to Literature- Blogging Guidelines
1. Sometimes I will post a specific question for discussion in your blog.If I post a specific question or topic, it will be posted here in my blog on LiveJournal approximately a week before it is due. More often, you will be expected to write about a topic of your own choice- as long as it relates to this course and the works that we are reading. If I do not post a question, assume that the topic is your choice.
2. Blogs must be completed each week before class begins on Tuesday. Comments/Replies to your classmates' blogs must be posted before class begins on Thursday.
3. Organize your blog in paragraphs just as you would with a regular essay. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors should be minimal. Ideas should be clearly expressed and on-topic.
4. Write for a world-wide audience, not just your classmates; don't assume that all your readers will know what book, story, or article you are talking about. Post a link to any source that is on the Web, or provide an MLA-style citation for any source that is not on the Web.
5. Blog entries must be at least 250 words long. Shorter blogs will not receive full credit. Very short blogs will receive a zero. There is no word count requirement for comments/replies. However, comments must be substantial, stating a claim or opinion and giving reasons for it.
