Expectations and First Entry

Welcome to the world of blogging! We are going to be using this blog to discuss To Kill a Mockingbird. This will be our informal piece of writing for the 4th marking period.

First, let's make the parameters clear:

1. All posts should be respectful to everyone.
2. Posts should be academic in nature. Before you hit post, please be sure you are comfortable with ANYONE reading your post.
3. Posts may be written in first person--using I, we, you is acceptable within this context.
4. Any violation of the student handbook will be handled utilizing the consequences listed within.
5. Let your voice shine within these pieces. This is your opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and creative genius.

FIRST ENTRY DETAILS
Your first post should be about one of the events/people you selected during the 1920s and 1930s project. This post must include a picture, summary of the event, and how it connects to the novel. Be sure you project your own summary. Copying from a website could create an even larger problem than violating school policy. Since you have posted to the world as yours, the author of the copied work could contact you!

Example post:

One of the major fashion trends during the 1920s was the flapper dress. Women wore this type of dress for classy occasions especially for a night out on the town. This dress was noted for its short style with multiple layers of "bling." Women also kept their hair short to wear stylish hats. Style today is freckled by the 1920s trends.
