1. What's due today:
- Your Adopt-a-Species blog link must be emailed to me by 8:00 p.m. and the hyperlink must be functional. Please carefully follow the instructions in D2L so you don't accidentally send me the wrong link (yes, this happens quite frequently).
- Stay close to your email tonight so if you send me the wrong link, I can shoot you a quick email letting you know.
- Don't forget to include "Week 4" somewhere in the title of your assignment. If you've already sent me your link, it's still ok to go in and change the title. You might need to consult this link on editing your blog for help.
- If you haven't noticed, there is a warning against using Word to compose your assignment. Word is notoriously bad for any web-based assignment. If you are experiencing problems using Word, try composing your assignment directly in bloglines.
- If you go to the Week 4, Chapter 12 discussion board and click on the board entitled "Adopt-a-Species response grid and student links" you will see a post called "response grid and students links." This is where I'm posting all of your A-a-S links and where you can access the links of all of your classmates.
2. Responses for Adopt-a-Species:
- Remember: I have assigned each of you specific people to respond to for this assignment. You can find this information on the response grid (see above for how to access it).
- Your responses to your classmates are not due until Thursday at noon.
- Each of you has your own discussion board forum entitled "Responses for [your name]." You will use these personal discussion boards to post your responses. For example, if I look at the response grid and see that I am supposed to respond to Amber, I will go find the discussion forum entitled "Responses for Amber" and post my response to her assignment here.
3. What else is due tomorrow? On top of your A-a-S responses being due by noon, your Chapter 12 Final Thoughts are due by 11 and so is your Chapter 5 Reading Quiz. AND....your Chapter 5 Starting Assumptions are due by 8 with responses by 11. Sorry--I know it's a busy day.
- If you are wondering where to post your Final Thoughts for your A-a-S assignment, simply post them on your own personal discussion forum (right underneath where your classmates responded to your assignment).
4. Extra credit reminder: I'm offering you folks an additional 2 points extra credit if you post your Chapter 5 Freelance Writer assignment by Saturday, June 28 instead of Sunday the 29th. If you choose to take advantage of this opportunity, drop me an email once you have completed the assignment.
5. Grading: I've finished grading your Chapter 4 Freelance Writer assignments and have posted the grades and my comments in the gradebook. Take a look and let me know if you have any questions.
That's it for today. I'll be around all day so please ask if you have questions or concerns about anything!
Heather
