Hi everyone! Hope you are enjoying your Spring Break! I've been following your responses and comments on the blogs and I have to say I am really impressed! Those of you that have completed the assignment, or have started, GOOD WORK! Some of your responses are really insightful! And the blog seems to be serving its purpose-creating a dialogue between students on the issues of the book. For those of you who haven't started, don't forget to get your 4 responses and 4 comments on other peoples' responses done by Sunday! And there are still a lot of students who haven't joined the group fusion page, so make sure to remind your friends (who won't even see this email because they haven't joined yet) to get on the site and get added! Thanks guys!!

Over Spring Break you should complete 4 of the blog assignments posted here on Group Fusion. You may have a "code name" assigned to you, so that people don't know who they are responding to. I am able to see who is who, so I will be able to give credit based on your "code name." You must complete 4 of the blog assignments, and for each assignment you must comment on one other post as well. Just as a warning, your posts must be appropriate in terms of language and content. If anyone posts anything inapropriate, you will not receive credit for ANY of these online assignments. All assignments must be posted by Sunday, April 24th. If you have any questions or problems, email me!
