Welcome to the world of academic, student-led discussion forums! Before you get started, please review the following:
1. All policies covered in MISD's Acceptable Use Policy apply. That pretty much means that your behavior here should mirror or improve upon your behavior at school. Post nothing inappropriate or non-academically related or you will be banned from all MISD computers, to start with....just don't go there.
2. To enter a forum, click on the name of that forum. It's a link. To reply to a topic, select 'reply' and post away! To start a new topic, click 'start new topic!' You may not start new forums or categories - only I, your herd leader, may do so.
3. I will check all forum activity for grading on Fridays. Make sure that you have been active (responding to topics, creating topics, answering each others' questions and making useful comments etc...) by the time your class meets that day.
4. Please read "How to Write an A+ Academic Post" prior to getting started with your group. If you are writing in text-speak or deliberately ignoring ye Olde English Rules for example, that will factor negatively into your points and may cause your post to be deleted.
5. Please use the 'quote' button when replying to or commenting upon another group member's post. It makes conversations much easier to follow.
6. Textual evidence is a really, really good thing. It strengthens your argument by epic proportions. No lie.
7. You MUST REPLY directly to this post with a short paraphrased summary of 3-5 of your rules/tips in the style covered in the article linked on #4. Sign with your first name, last initial, reading class period, and group name. Worth 100 points and due by WEDNESDAY!!!!

Make sure to behave while using MISD websites. While on this website, you must use proper writing skills. Make sure to stay active and talking with your groups. When answering a question, evidence would be great.
First you want to prepare yourself by reading up on the topic, according to the article. Then you need to brainstorm ideas about what you want to say to your professor ( our wonderful Herd leader Mrs. Law ) and your peers. Next you want to gather the cites and cite your sources so you don't plagiarize.

Think about the point try to limit yourself and topic and make sure your point is relevant.An A+ posting will make that connection between the theories and ideas in real life.
Don't post anything that is off topic and anything inappropriate, all forum activities will be graded on Friday by the time class meets, write textual evidence(it strengthens the argument), and lastly, if you write in text or ignoring the English rules, then it will count you points and cause your post to be deleted.
The Rules say to not post anything that is not appropriate for school. Also, you must post with correct grammar and spelling. Lastly, you must prove your answers with text evidence. Not following any of these will result in consequences or getting your post deleted.

Make sure to use proper English and correct grammar.(No texting words) Never post anything inappropriate or else you'll be forbidden to use MISD school computers. Textual evidence is amazing. Understand the topic and what your talking about. Communicate with your group mates!
~Maddie S. Period:3 Group: The Nothings
The rules state that you should not post anything inappropriate. Also do not go in any other groups other than your own. Post things that would make sense to the topic and not anything silly,especially if it is not academic/educational.

The rules set before us give us the propositions that the MISD Acceptable Use Policy applies here just as it does at school, don't post any inappropriate things (seeing as though not only is this for school but what is put on the Internet stays on the Internet), and each post needs to be picture perfect, grammar and spellchecked.
Don't post anything inappropriate or you have consequences. also stay in your group area and pay attention to each other. treat each other with respect.BYour have to prove yourself with evidence to get points for your grade.
All posts need to be school appropriate and have some thing to do with the discussion. On Fridays we will be graded so we will need to stay active. Also all posts need to have correct grammar and spelling.
My paraphrased summary is use appropriate language meaning don't post things your parents would't allopw you to say. To reply to a post press reply. Always use textual evidence when starting a new topicsd or if you have questions.

To sum it all up, use the same type of language you would use if you were to talk to your teacher or get banned. Use appropriate grammar when replying to a post. When having an arugment, act like you are face to face and use good text evidence to support your claim.
it talks about the rules that you need to follow on here and that you need textual evidence because it is really important . you also need to know what your doing by understanding your topic and using correct grammer .

Ironically, Rylee, I must remind you to use capital letters when starting sentences and to use the correct you're/your for what you mean to say - good grammar guidelines!

Ajani,
Very thoughtfully stated! Good idea to always be careful what you say online. Just to clarify - you CAN start a new topic in your group! You can start a topic anytime you feel the need to. Just keep it relevant to the book and no SPOILERS from future reading.....
