Catch - Up Weekend

You have this long weekend to catch up (Monday is a professional day).  Here are reminders of everything you should have done. Tuesday will be flex so if these are not completed by everyone, you will be staying in until you are finished (plan to bring a lunch)

*if you need help, email me and stay in at flex on Tuesday*
Blogs:

1. Accepted Ms Lees invitation to the class blog www.leesen10.blogspot.com

How?  by going to the email you gave me in class and accept (single click only or you will receive an error and need to email me to re-send you an invitation)

     2.  Group Blogs: 

• Everyone should have accepted the invitation from the administrator.  If you haven't, then you need to contact your administrator to re-send the invite.
• Ensure that your blogger profile (display name) is first name and last initial only
• Everyone should have done their first post on the group blogs
• something your group would find useful to help with literary terms (e.g. video, cartoon, dictionary, ppt presentation)  Remember to write a couple sentences explaining how your selection is useful.  If you have already posted - you can to your dashboard to edit your posts.  You may want some of the links to be located under your link list to find easily - tell your administrator and they can do this for you.
• Admin. - make sure you sent Ms Lees an invitation to your blog.  How can you check?   If your group blog is not linked to the class blog, then you did not send her an invitation.
• Admin:  please make sure to have the following on your group blogs:
• follow me button
• counter
• archive
• search bar
• contributors list 
• link list - even if there are no links yet

Tip for blog posts - good clear titles help you find the posts again when you need to.
