Welcome to the First Week of School

Welcome to the First Week of School!!!!!
I so excited to start this blog. This will be a weekly assignment, but I will update what we did in class, reading assignments, homework, and any other pertinent information on a daily basis. So if you are gone for an "excused" absence you can see what you missed in class. Every day is important in Government class. If you do not have internet access at home, you can access this blog from the school in the Media Center, the County Library, or by iPad in my classroom during Golden Time. You may not access this blog by iPad in the classroom at any other time. All blogging will be read by me and your fellow students, so be appropriate and on task. This is not a social network and we do not want to know your personal life. However, I want to know what you "think" and "feel" about the content posted on the blog. Read the links and then respond after some reflection. In other words, think before you blog.

First Assignent due by Monday, August 29th at 3:00 p.m.

Introduction to Blogging

This is a blog pilot program for US Government and Citizenship students in the first trimester at Uintah High School.  Ms. Moulton will be the host of this blog and will be guiding you through this process.  You will be required to read an article, cartoon, or view a video for this log.  Then you will be required to respond to that assignment once a week.  The assignment will change weekly. Blogging will be fun, but insightful.  Further information will follow in the next blog.
