Day One

Congratulations on arriving at Day One.

Day One of school.  Day One of your high school career. And Day One of  Human Geography.

Here are some details about your very first homework assignment, due at the beginning of the next class.

• Add my blog to your Favorites/Bookmarks.
• Create a Gmail account (if you don't have one already), and use it to set up your class blog through blogger.com .
• After you have created your blog, send the URL to me at rschick@johncarroll.org . 
• Write your first blog post.  In at least 150 words, describe the experience of your first school day at John Carroll.  Take your time; write well; proofread; rewrite as necessary.  Impress me with this first (graded) example of your writing talent.
• Buy a Composition notebook for notetaking.  They are available at Target for a dollar or two; also sold at Patriots' Corner (the JC school store).
• Carefully read the class syllabus, which can be found under "Essential Links" just to the right of this post.

I'll see you tomorrow to check your HW, to make sure you have your Composition book, to answer any questions, and to get this class underway!  Hooray!
