Anayeli, Karen, Karina
Brittney, Bianca, Andrea
Tiffany, Melissa, Silvana
Wynee, Ciriaco, Michelle
Wen, Jessica, Cindi

2. Blog Review

For this in-class assignment, look for your name below and click on it. You'll be taken to a link to a classmate's blog. Read their blog, and then write a response beneath. Your response should: identify who you are and say hi; compliment the blogger on her blog with a specific comment; reflect on one thing you learned from the blog; tie the blogger's experience to something relevant from your own observation or class discussion

To complete this assignment you need to 'sign in' to your account. If you haven't signed up yet, please write the professor explaining why, at the beginning of week three, you haven't. Then explain what steps you can take to becoming 'caught up' with this course requirement within 24 hours.

All students who haven't completed their first blog have lost 15% of their blog grade. This grade can be partially redeemed with some points if those students complete their requirement within 24 hours.
