Be sure to read the criteria for blogs. You are expected to post at least three entries per week. Also please consider the criteria of variety. Check Vista for your grade.
Keep writing, keep reading...good for you...THAT's what's important! It’s a blog…it’s about writing, not posting on different days! Write them, then post them…oh, right…One will be ohhhhhhhh so much more pensive if they post on different days…reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllly??!!! Sorry about the dumb criteria. Don’t let it interfere with your writing or your posts. You can forward this to the “grader” and be sure to add the comment that this veteran is rolling her eyes with a long sigh at the ridiculous criteria of posting on different days. Is that all "the grader" has to say..another example of legalistic pedagogy making unimportant criteria more important than content…TAKS everyone…
