**__Below you will find a list of general rules for online discussions:__** === As a class of bloggers it is critical that we agree on some general guidelines for our blogging and online discussion. Please read each of the guidelines below. By contributing to this blog you are agreeing to follow each of the rules. ===
 * === **__Keep your details private__** ===
 * === No personal information should be included anywhere in the blog. As you post, please use your first initial followed by your last name as a username (ex..hcato). This will keep your personal details private and allow me to record your grade for your posts. ===
 * === **__Conduct__** ===
 * === All users should remain respectful. You may not post anything that is rude, even if you disagree with another post or one of your peers. Please give appropriate feedback and disagree appropriately as needed. ===
 * === __Content__ ===
 * === Stay on topic of the discussion and keep your comments school-appropriate. __This educational blog is not a place to socialize__. ===
 * === All users should be careful and conscious about what they write because blogs are a public place. This means that all writing should be respectful as well as grammatically correct. __(Because this is an English related blog, please refrain from using text lingo.)__ ===
 * === No plagiarism! Please be sure to give credit where credit is due. Use quotation marks when you use any text from the novel. ===
 * === __Each answer needs to be throughly and completely answered. This would mean that you develop a nice well rounded paragraph. When answering a question, one should be able to know what the question is, just by reading the answer. Lastly, this isn't a comedy show, no one liners!__ ===
 * === **__Monitoring__** ===
 * === Blog editors (administrators - i.e., Miss Adams, Mr. Diaz, and Global staff) have the right to delete any comments posted that are inappropriate or off task. Anyone finding something questionable on the website, please notify the blog editors immediately. ===
