First Assignments In - Let the Blogging Begin!

Dear 2010-11 APers,

Thanks for being so prompt in turning in your essays. I'm very much looking forward to reading them and getting to know each of you a little better. If you would please click the "Follow" button on this blog, you should be able to see a notification on your blog that I have updated mine. I plan to use my blog for my own writing and reflections over the summer, and I encourage you to do the same. Also, I have linked each of your blogs to mine so that I can see them easily. Feel free to link your classmates' blogs to your own; I hope that these blogs will help us build a sense of community, even over the summer, and we will use them for feedback in writing, among other things, once the year begins.
Last semester I created a Facebook fan page for my English class (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Ms-Smiths-English-Class/289798125778). If you have a Facebook account, go ahead and be a fan of my class; I use it as a sort-of homework hotline / bulletin board for the class, and it's also an easy way to ask a question or send a message, though I suppose email does that pretty well too.

Have a glorious summer and I hope you enjoy your reading and writing!

  1. Ms Smith, blogger won't let me copy and paste into it from word. I pasted it into notebook and formated to see if the simpler version would work but it didn't. It works if you paste into the HTML section but it wont read the tabs for the start of my different paragraphs. Do you know a better way of doing this??
