I look forward to working with you in English class this semester. Let's get started by setting up your blogs!
You will be doing much of your writing this year on a blog that you will create today. It is important that you complete all of the posts, as they will become a significant component of the portfolio you will put together at the end of the semester.
1. Log into your school Google account.
2. Navigate to Blogger. (Open this site in a different tab or window.)
3. Click "New Blog" on the left-hand side of your page to create your blog.
4. Give your blog a title that follows this format: First name Last initial's English 9 Blog. For example, if your name is John Smith, your blog should be called John S. English 9 Blog.
5. Give your blog a custom URL that follows this format: First name Last initial English 9 Blog. For example, if your name is John Smith, your blog URL should be johnsenglish9blog.blogspot.com.
6. Choose a template (you may choose whatever template you like, and you can feel free to change this later).
7. Once your blog is set up, fill out this form to make sure I have all of your blog information. THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT! I will be reading and commenting on your blog posts throughout the semester, and I will need this URL to grade your portfolio.
8. Finally, write an introductory post of one or two paragraphs on the following topic. Please use the subject line An Important Book for Me.
Think of a book that has been meaningful in your life. In your blog post, please provide the title and author of the book and describe why it is meaningful to you.

Please review this article about online safety for teens. Remember, you should never post personal information online!
