Speak

Welcome to Ms. Clear's first ever class blog!

For the novel Speak, you will be required to respond on a class blog to several posted questions. You may choose any of the topics to respond to, but must respond to at least five postings before the end of the novel. You may choose to respond also, to something one of your classmates has posted. Only students enrolled in this class will be able to respond on this blog.

Please keep in mind, that your responses are posted on the web, and therefore, anyone who stumbles upon our webpage (pretty unlikely, but possible!), will be able to read what is written on the class blog. You may use names of characters, but certainly do not use names of friends or otherwise! Use your heads about what you post.

You will be graded on your postings. They should be related to the topic you're choosing to respond to, and should be edited for spelling and proper capitalization. Postings that are less than a full paragraph will not be graded. Various, one line reponses to other classmates is encouraged, but again, will not be considered as one of your postings.

Have fun, be professional, and don't forget to post!
