The first thing you must do is get a Gmail account, which you may have done prior to class. Then, using that Gmail address, please write to me at mikelohre@gmail.com and I will invite you to the blog.
You will then have to follow some steps and verifications to become a member of our blog. Please choose to use the normal Blogger user profile and not Google plus, or the blog will annoy you with wanting you to share all your posts. I will help you if we come into any problems, so please just raise your hand as help is needed in the lab.
http://english2267.blogspot.com/ This
is our blog address. The fastest way to
find it is to sign into Gmail, then open a tab and go to Blogger.com and it
will show you your blogs. Click View
Blog.
Once you are a member, you will see your Gmail address appear in the upper right hand corner, and only then can you post to the blog.
To do a New Post, you must again find that link in the upper right hand corner. Click New Post and a window will appear to let you compose.
Please title all your writings, and use a username that is either your name or nickname so we know who is writing. Only class members will be on this blog.
--For your first post, write a paragraph where you introduce yourself, tell us some things that help us know you more, and share a fun fact about you. Also, if you are comfortable to do so, please post a photo of yourself or something you love, so we can always come back to this and associate your name with your face and introduction. Again, the blog will just be for our class and I will adjust the privacy and search settings.
--In your next paragraph, respond to one of the poems in the packet we read for today. What do you notice? Which language stands out to you as best, and why? What feeling or connection do you make to this poem? Can you relate? Have you been there? Tell us.

--When you are finished, publish your post, and then read
other posts on the blog and write Comments to two other people in the class. Try to respond to something specific, or add
to or connect to something that has been written.
Remember, you can always save the post or even publish it, and then go back and add and subtract from it. Just use the Posts list, or go back to your post and click the pencil icon to edit.
Good luck, have fun, and just let me know when you need help!
