Blogging Homework

Since it appears that I’ll be teaching English, History, and Science, a way I would have the different classes use blogging for a different purpose. For my English students, I would have them blog the drafts of their book reports so they can get feed back so they can earn full credit for the assignment. For History and Science, I would post questions on a blog and have the students reply back their answers (these could be either pre-questions to assess what they know about a given topic or follow up questions about what they should have learned to help me guide the lessons and reteach more quickly as to help fill any holes or gaps that may have occurred during their learning.

Students will:

1. Understand the voting rights as defined by the US Constitution. (History 8.2.2)
2. Answer questions in complete sentences. (W 1.4; LC 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6)
   
3. Understand amendments pertaining to voting rights. (History 8.2.2; 8.3.6; 8.6.6)
