1. We'll try to use this blog to get a lot more accomplished than in the first marking period.
--You need to join this blog. Go ahead and do so now. Since blogger/blogspot is owned by Google, you will need a Google account.
--Do you have an account? If so, use that one. If not, take a second and sign up for one. Please choose login information that you will remember easily!
--Come back here to read once you are a member of this blog.

2. What else today? How will we use this blog?
--Your first writing assignment is in the next entry.
--Your assignments/entries will be independent entries/Einträge. They should *not* be in the comments. You will "create a new entry" for each assignment, and indicate in the labels or title-part, to which assignment you are replying.

--Each writing entry of 10 or more lines will be worth 50 points; less than that, 25 points. 20% of that grade will go towards the completeness of the first draft. (There will always be two drafts.)
