2nd Blog period: WRIT1 Feedback.

Dear WRIT1 students: This grade is the main one for your class (the combined 3 blog grades), so having a second low score can ruin your semester. I expect the combined blog grade will count about 40 or 50% of your semester grade. Therefore, if you get very low grades for the first two periods, you will likely have trouble passing the class. I can't help you if you don't seek help, so give me feedback or ask for help. . .please! If you don't care about your grade, why should I care?
I still cannot find Annie's blog site; please tell me in class today, Annie!
For Peggy: Please see my comments.
For Christy: I cannot find any English entries in your blog for the 2nd grading period--nor, indeed, any English entries at all! Is this the wrong blog?
Rossi: Similarly, it appears that there are no entries at all since before this 2nd grading period.
Paula: Your blog requests that I "wait [for] me" and I have, but still there are no entries at all. You'll have to wait till next period for a grade. So please "wait for me." However, even if you get a 100% on your next blog period (highly difficult to achieve, like a word level of 50 at "FreeRice.com") your top combined score will only be 33.3%. It's such a shame!

I really cannot understand the problem for most of you. You are destroying your writing grade, and what for?? If you do not understand the requirements, you ought to ASK! Or, as an alternative, you could always READ the instructions. I'd love to help intelligent students who try to do a good job and ask for assistance, but I'm not gonna chase you down the halls asking you for your homework. You are adults and are solely responsible for yourselves and your grades and your future. Grab the steering wheel and start to drive yourself towards your destination!
See you in the afternoon.
