Hi, everyone,

This is just to remind you that you must complete your first reading assignment before class meets on Monday, June 5, 2006.

Out of Many, Chapter 17

Welcome to our Class Blog!

Greetings, everyone!

If you're reading this, then you probably received my email, inviting you to take a look and click on some of the links and begin to become familiar with a very important feature of this course. This blog is where you will find most of the important information about the class, such as the syllabus, course requirements, and readings schedule, as well as announcements and reminders. It is also where you will find your Weekly Writing Assignments and post your weekly Blog Entries and Blog Comments.

When we meet for the first time (Monday, June 5, at 6:30 p.m.), we will talk about how you will participate in the blog and then I will send out emails to everyone making you "team members" so that you can post here, too. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

I look forward to meeting all of you and to a great class!
