What to expect:
1. The first blog post will open on November 3. One blog post will open each week for the month of November.
2. You will write one super post* per week. You determine which day you will complete the assignment, so long as it is complete by Saturday night of the corresponding week before 9:00 p.m. MST to be considered on-time.
3. Seven gratitude bites** will be required as part of the super post for each of the first three weeks.
4. The last nine gratitude bites will be due in one super post no later than Tuesday, December 1 at 9:00 p.m. MST to be considered on-time. (DES who are working at a different pace, you will have until the DE deadline.)
*Super posts must include seven gratitude bites representing the seven days included in one week, except for the last week requiring nine because of the Thanksgiving holiday.
**Gratitude bites are a short paragraph of 3-5 sentences, and their theme should be what you're thankful for.
Community Expectations:
Replies are required to receive full credit. Minimum three replies on three separate super posts per week constitutes full participation.
Remember to be encouraging, sharing, and positive. Constructive criticisms are welcome, but be careful in your wording because it is easy to misinterpret written word. Any blatant negativity will be deleted and participation points will be taken away.
Throughout Gratitude Month:
Each student will sign up to report on one gratitude bite as part of the writing project. Expanding the original bite, you can choose to write an essay, do a class presentation, or create a YouTube video***. For DES, if you do not have the ability to do a shareable video, please write an essay.
Be prepared to present your bite on the date you sign up.
For DES who are doing this assignment on a later schedule, please do whichever option you'd like. If time permits, we will watch them as a class, but if not, I will certainly watch your video presentations.
***Please set all YouTube videos that you create for class to "Unlisted" and share the link with me via email. Doing so will ensure your privacy on the internet.
I look forward to sharing our gratitude bites as a class community.
