BULLDOG BLOG
Summer Assignment
Over the summer, students will be required to participate in an online dialogue via my Bulldog Blog. This will be part of their summer assignment and count as part of their grade for APUSH this year. Specifics including the assignments and due dates will be posted as soon as possible.
Weekly Blog Assignments
Every week, students will be assigned a topic or topics to blog on based on the readings, lectures and assignments. These "Bulldog blogs" will count as Formative grades (aka: Quizzes) which average to 30 percent of your grade in the class.
Instructions for Questions:
For multiple questions: Initially respond to ONE question of your choice. By the due date for the blogging you will need to also respond to two of your peers who answered questions that you did not answer. For example, if you answered Question #1, you will respond to others who answered #2, #3 or #4.
For single question blogs: You will respond to the question and by the due date respond to two of your peers.
Instructions for Posts:
Your answer to one of the assigned questions must be a minimum of 15 sentences. You must answer the question completely for your initial response.
When responding to peers you must constructively argue why their answer is correct or incorrect, according to your historical viewpoint and the evidence you have been presented. Responses to peers must be a minimum of 10 sentences. ***Remember "I agree with you" and the like are NOT sentences.
Always cite evidence from your readings and the lectures in your responses.
