Introduction

Welcome to Mrs. Lang’s Blog for the Online B class. We’ll be using this site for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. My goal is to do one journal a week. The blog will be posted on Monday and you have until the following Friday to complete the questions on the blog by leaving a comment. Many of you may have your own personal blogs on MySpace or similar sites. For those of you who have never used a blog, this will give you some experience.Before we get started we’ll have to set some ground rules. First of all, all postings to this site must use school appropriate language. When you post, write in complete grammatically correct sentences. When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm and/or put-downs. State your position on the issue at hand and why you feel that way.
Your first assignment:
Who is your "hero" and what makes that person special to you?
