In order to get ready for class, you should post a “prep note” in the blog. It is a chance to process what you have read for class and influence what will happen in class. You might post a question that arose for you, or a quote from the text you want to talk about. Occasionally, there might be a question posted on the weekly schedule that you can use as a prompt.
Always categorize your prep note as that, and also under your name. For the “class community reflection” assignments and also for portfolios, you will be reviewing your prep notes for clues about your learning that you can write about.
These posts will not be graded individually. It will be up to you to make sure you are doing one before every class.
