Proof and edit

First, good posts!! I am impressed with the quality of your effort to respond in character. Your first posts reflect, for the most part, good research and some impressive attempts to use the language and phrasing of the time. Keep it up!

I've also read some thoughtful comments; these, too, are impressive for the quality of research and thought they reflect.

Just one caveat: Be sure to proof and edit as you write; I've noticed several spelling errors as I've read your first posts. Also, remember to show us the reference for your post beneath your text.

Comment Moderation Instructions

We have been asked about comments.  Please take these steps:

1.  Click where necessary to start a new post.

2.  Below the tabs at the top of the screen, click "Moderate Comments"

3.  For any comment made to your blog which was made by another student in this class and which is appropriate, choose to allow the comment to be seen.  For any inappropriate comments, email one of the teachers and we will look at it.

By moderating your comments, you allow those to be seen by the rest of the blog readers.  Do not delete any comments posted to your blog.  Only teachers may delete comments.

This is just a test for today. Write a blog entry in response and then comment on two other blogs.
