This is our space to share ideas, collaborate on projects, and reflect on the themes of our World Literatures course. Adding content and sharing has never been easier! We will build the knowledge on this site together by:

• Contributing to our online discussions by posting responses and questions,
• Reflecting on our learning using blogs,
• Customizing a personal page (My Page), and
• Creating and joining groups.

Overall, this site should help us reflect on the themes and goals of the 10th grade World Literatures course, celebrate our accomplishments, and streamline how we share and learn information.

Respect-

• When you post, it is important to be respectful; be respectful of other people posting and respect yourself. This means that personal attacks, inappropriate language and content, insults and harassment of any kind are strictly forbidden. Consider this an online classroom and ask yourself if your comments would be acceptable in our physical classroom setting.

Rigor-

• You will need to be sure that your comments and posts are adding to the discussion of the book or text. Before posting a comment, question, or blog entry, ask yourself, "will this forward the discussion we are having?" Your thoughts and ideas should be supported, and you should be using specific details to illustrate your ideas. Your posts should build on the discussion by responding to comments other students have made on a particular subject.

Grades-

• Yes, you will be graded on some of your contributions to this site. What does this mean? Your blog entries and forum posts should be thoughtful reflections, interesting ideas, and discussion provoking comments related to our texts. You will be told in advance which posts will be graded and how they will be assessed. Be sure to proofread before you post.

Good luck, have fun, and happy posting!
