To track challenging or important terms/vocabulary in the new textbook, we will experiment with the blog format.
Each week, one student will be assigned to define any words other students enter on the blog (up to 25 words). Throughout the week, students will post words they thought were difficult or important, and the student of the week will define them by class on Friday.
The student of the week will get a grade in their homework average for their definitions (clear, relevant definitions posted on time will earn a 93 in the HW average) and every student will get a 93 in their homework average after every 25 words they post.
Remember, this is experimental and intended to help you manage the reading, so it will only work if you participate. You may also use this blog to post questions about the reading and engage your fellow students in conversation about the reading.
