Great job, everyone!

Dear Per. 6,

I've just read your posts and comments, and I'm so proud of all of you!! You obviously used some thought in choosing articles, and many of you used a great deal of thought writing about what you read. I'm particularly pleased that your comments were equally thoughtful and constructive. I've written comments for all your posts; please feel free to respond to my comment. You might also want to spend a moment reading through the other posts and commenting on those, too.
We'll be talking about jobs and work in class this week, so you might want to see if you can find articles about jobs -- especially how to find one in a tough economy. Also, try to use a different source this week than you did last week in order to broaden your knowledge of what kind of information is available on the Internet. As always, anything you find interesting is fine. So that you don't have to scroll all the way down to my first entry, here's what you have to do: Find an article about the economy, finances, or money on the Internet. It MUST be no more than 1 week old. Put the link to your article in your blog and answer the following questions. Please use proper spelling and punctuation! Your entry will be much easier to read.

1. What is this item about?
2. Why did you choose it?
3. Do you agree with what's happening in the news item you chose? Why or why not?
4. Do you think the information has been presented fairly? Why or why not?
5. Would you use this news source again?

Your participation in this blog counts as TWO TESTS. Your grade for this blog is based on how much you do, not how well I think you do it. Each question is worth 2 points, so every entry should earn you 10 points. Every comment you make on someone else's entry is also worth 2 points. The more you participate, the higher your grade will be.
A blog is a conversation. I encourage you to be part of it so we can all help each other understand the tough times we live in. You can do it!
