Assignment

Hello, everyone.  Here are the directions for our The Outsiders characters Facebook-style blog.

I have assigned you a character to follow closely throughout the novel.  Once per week, you should either post a status update that your character would likely post if Facebook were around in the 1960s or comment back to another character.

To make a new comment, go to the blog's homepage and click "New Comment".  To respond to another classmates' post, click on "respond" at the bottom of the comment.

Feel free to use Facebook "lingo" but be extremely mindful of "netiquette".  As with all internet-based communications, you should NEVER post anything that would get you in trouble.  If in doubt, DON'T SAY IT!  If you chose to post something inappropriate, your comment will be removed and you will receive a "0" for that week's posts.

Your posts are due by Saturday night at 11:59pm so that you have a full week to read.

  Please comment only up to the assigned reading.  
If you post something that happens beyond that, your classmates will be confused because they may not have read that far.  

Happy reading and happy bringing-the-gang-to-the-21st-century fun!
