YOUR FIRST POST

Morning everyone!
Today, your job is to create your first post as I have done below. Let me take you through the first things to make sure everyone is caught up:
1. Please be sure you are following your classmates. I will also be in the process of following each of you, so this may take a little time today.
2. Find an article off the internet regarding either GENETIC MANIPULATIONS or CLASSIC CONDITIONING of some kind and post it on your blog like this:

http://www.ivanpavlov.com/

3. Read your own article and underneath your link, please write roughly a paragraph of WHY you posted this link or article, as well as how you think it applies to the novel.Your article should be more along the lines of something thought-provoking instead of simple information like I posted. FIND SOMETHING THAT HAS SOME OPINION AND TEETH TO IT!
4. Read ONE other post that someone made on their blog and comment on it. Again, this should be about a paragraph.

A FEW NOTES:
1. Please remember your RADCAB ideas when posting - pick reliable, academic sites that are appropriate for what we are studying.
2. Please make sure that you are posting SINCERE, ACADEMIC comments to the article that you read. This is not the time to be silly or funny, but rather to offer some insight as to your thoughts on your classmate's post.

YOU SHOULD HAVE POSTED YOUR ARTICLE AND COMMENTED ON ONE OTHER STUDENT'S ARTICLE BY THIS FRIDAY!!!

HAPPY BLOGGING!

Today, your job is to:
1. Finish as much of the general layout of your blog.
2. Follow my blog if you have not already done so.
3. RESPOND TO THIS POST BY COPYING AND PASTING A LINK TO YOUR BLOG SO I CAN FOLLOW YOU!
4. Once everyone's blogs are posted here, start following every other blog in the class. By the end of this, you should be following everyone in the class, and they should all be following you!

HAPPY BLERGING!
