For those just checking the blog...

SPARTANS,

For those of you just checking the blog for the first time, make sure to check old blog posts. A few of you are asking questions that have been addressed already on the blog.

Go to "Blog Archive" on the right side of the page under the Spartan helmet image.

Please check this site regularly. I update and give general feedback pretty frequently.

Take care,
Mr. Todd

Feedback for Chapter Reading Response Answers

1) Questions about feedback

2) Question about MS Word document format

3) General feedback on Reading Response answers for Chapter 1

1) Ian Enario asked a great question: Will students get feedback on their chapter Reader Response answers?

Answer: The short answer, to quote Mr. Lee, is yes and no. If you need to fix anything, I'll tell you. If not, you may not hear from me, or just get a "thank you" e-mail.

2) Another good question from Lauren Hofmann was: Which MS Word format (.doc or .docx) is preferred for attachments?

Answer: Please send your attachments in ".doc" format since Vista still has problems opening its own .docx format from e-mails sometimes.

If you do not have MS Word, please just include your answers in the body of your e-mail to me.

3) Some general feedback on Reading Response Answers for Chapter 1:

**DO NOT use phrases like "I think" or "In my opinion". Please write in the third person.

**Most of you are answering the questions well, but be mindful of the Command Terms and what they mean.

**Many students are not answering Questions 2 and 3 fully.

**Lastly, use your book to answer the questions. You do not need to do extra research and add unnecessary information. Stick to answering the question.
