Sophs & Seniors: Posting Comments at Schoolsville

Here are some simple directions on posting comments at Schoolsville: 

1. Go to the bottom of the blog post and click on the underscored words that indicate the number of comments (to the left of the mail envelope).

2. Type your comment (or copy and paste your comments from a Word document) in the box that reads "Leave your comment." 

3. Choose an identity by clicking the circle that reads "Name/URL." When you do, a box will open in which you'll leave your first name, a space, the first letter of your last name, followed by a space which will be followed by your section color. For instance I might leave the name "John F blue"(John Fiorelli, blue class) if I were a student in the blue section. 

4. Then click the box to "publish your comment." Your comment will not be immediately posted, but a message at the top of the page should say that "your comment has been saved." I moderate the comments, meaning that I'll check them for their appropriateness before I post them. 

NOTE 1:it's always good practice to compose your comments in a Word document that you can edit (before you copy and paste into the comment box) and then save your responses for printing at the end of the marking period. 

NOTE 2: comments for journal questions should run a minimum of 200 words. Other blog assignments will have different response requirements

NOTE 3: sometimes, you'll be given a blog post specifically for your section color, so you must post your comments there, still indicating your initials and section color.

Let's practice posting RIGHT NOW in class. 

This is NOT a journal assignment. Answer this question in a few sentences What book (that you read in the last year) did you enjoy the most? Briefly explain why. 

Again, this is just a short practice assignment so that you'll be able to post journal and homework assignments correctly in the future.
