1. Your blog has to be written in English. G7: 200 words each week in one, or several, postings. G8&9: 300 words each week in one, or several, postings.
2. Your blog may be on any suitable topic. Just be aware that I will read it, your parents may read it, and it will be visible to the world!
3. Do not share any personal information with the blogging site, or your readers. There are strange people on the Internet: stay safe. Use initials for your name, not your whole name.
4. Moderate Comments. Set the comments section of your blog so that all comments must be checked by you before they are posted.
5. Always edit your writing. Both because Mr. S. will mark it, and to look as smart as you really are.
6. Use Blogger. Mr. S. can help you most easily with this site.
7. Back-up your blog at home periodically, in case you lose it. You can do this from the Blogger settings page, and onto your computer or external hard-drive, or to a USB stick.
8. Due Monday before 8:30. That means not at school on Monday morning...
9. Read each other's blogs and comment, nicely.
10. Add links on your page to things from this 'ESL CIS blog': class blog link, student blog links, etc.
