The Hawks Talk

Hello class of 2011,

Welcome to our blog. We will be using this blog to converse among ourselves and with others outside our classrooms about our readings, projects and other assignments.

Rules of the road

Here are some thoughts to guide our discussions:  

1) To post an article or a comment please include your first name and class
period.  DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR LAST NAME!   Only include your last
initial IF someone else in your period has the same first name.   

2) E-mail addresses are required for comments, but we are the only ones who will ever see it!   

3) Watch your language!  Ok, this is an obvious one, eh?  But in
all seriousness, be mindful of your word choice… which means that using
symbols is also off-limits (No AIM speak)!  This is a professional tool
for collaboration, treat it as such.   

4)Please make comments!  Feel free to disagree
with your peers!  However, make sure that your tone is respectful.

• BAD:  Jane made a really stupid point.  I think that blah, blah, blah…
• GOOD:  I disagree with Jane’s point about _________ because blah, blah, blah.

5)  Any questions, let us know!
