Welcome to our Classroom BlogPortal!

Welcome to the English 11 Blog

Throughout your research paper assignment, you will be asked to respond to questions concerning the issue of banning or challenging books.

Blog Rules

1. Never post anything personal. No pictures, last names, phone numbers, addresses or birthdays.
2. Always use appropriate language; after all, this is still a school activity!
3. Respect your classmates and their ideas. Just like in class, we never put people down. If you disagree, do so with respect and kindness.
4. Academic Language & Accountable Talk are required. This is not myspace! Spell out words correctly and use proper punctuation.
5. Practice, practice, practice. For the rest of your life you will be expected to use computers.
If you are not used to it yet, that is okay!
You are allowed to make mistakes and you are allowed to ask for help.
Just keep practicing!

Happy blogging!
