Class of 2022 -- Blog #1 WELCOME TO 8th GRADE!!

Welcome to the 8th grade!  This will be an exciting year as you prepare for high school!  We have a lot of work to do, but also a lot of fun along the way!

Blogging is a relatively new idea! We will use this blog as a means of communication between us as students, classmates and teacher!  This will give us a better chance to get to know one another too!  You will need to check the blog often because there  extra credit opportunities on here are very time sensitive!  
When responding to the blog, please let me know who you are.  You  must be logged on with your Goodpasture email credentials.  You will need to make a "limited blogger profile with you first name and first initial of last name.  You may also put your class period.    For example, if your name is Charlie Brown, and you have my class 3rd period, you would simply respond something like this:

Charlie B. (3) Mrs. Sweet -- I totally agree with your point of view!  I really enjoyed learning this information!  It was awesome!  

or

Charlie B. (3) Mrs. Sweet, I really don't agree with your opinion of the book.  I feel like the author is really trying to . . . 

Get it?  Each blog entry comment will give you  extra credit points that will be calculated into your total points for the 9 week grading period.  You may NOT comment more than once per extra credit opportunity for actual extra credit!  You are welcome to comment as much as you'd like though!   As well, comments should be positive, helpful and appropriate.

Okay -- here is your first extra credit assignment:

What is blogging?
Do you write or read blogs on a regular basis?  If so, which one(s)?
Why or why not?


For THREE extra credit points, please respond to the above questions in at least THREE complete sentences!  All responses should be posted by August 20th at midnight! (Hint:  This blog will close at that time, and you will no longer get credit for it!)  Write on!

    Blogging is a way to share your thoughts & ideas w/ other people online. Before Mrs. Sweet showed us this blog page, I'd never seen a blog before (but if I had before then, I wouldn't have known it was a blog; so no-I don't do anything regarding blogs [as far as I know]). Honestly, if someone were to ask me what I knew about blogs (whether it was before Mrs. Sweet had us open this blog page, or now), I'm SURE that my answer would be "Well... all I know about blogging is that it's something that you can do that exists, and that it's done on an electronic device, involves typing, ... and... that's basically it." (Also, there's no reason for me not writing or reading blogs: to be fair, I'd actually LITERALLY COMPLETELY forgotten the fact that the word "blog" even EXISTED until it was mentioned in class!)

    No, I've never read a blog, and I don't write any either. No, because they don't appeal to me. In the future I might read a blog related to travel, sports, or technology.
