Weblog Assignment #5

This one has three parts.

1. Make your own weblog entry- choose an article or site of your choice, related to crime, prisons, or something that we talked about. If you can't find one, pick one from below (#1-4) that you have not done, and do that. If you have doubt about whether the subject is appropriate, ask. Make a standard weblog entry- tell where you went, what it looks like, how you feel about it.

2. Comments- make comments on your classmates' weblog entries. These should be questions. If your classmates ask you questions, you do not necessarily have to answer them. Make sure your comments are on weblog entries, and in your own class, where your own teacher will find them.

3. Put something on the AE2 weblog. Choose two of your weblog entries and move them over. To do this, remember to Sign out, and use the cesl login: ceslstudents@yahoo.com. Also, copy/paste is good for the weblog entry, but you'll need a title, and you'll also need to sign it, once again so that your teacher will find it & give you credit. With this, you are giving them to CESL. They may or may not end up in the newsletter. If you don't want them to, say something. But do the assignment anyway.
