Adding Pictures to Posts

Hi 2Bers,

I wanted to let you know how to add the picture you described to your post. First, open the picture you used. Then, right click on the picture and click on "share glog." Next, click on the box that says "embed code." Finally, copy and paste the embed code into the post (in editing mode) that contains your description. I will add a picture to this post to show you how it looks.

HW Due on September 15th

Good job writing your paragraphs about music groups today. I am impressed!

Your HW for the next class is to complete steps 1-3 on pg. 57. I will collect all of your steps. This assignment should be typed and double-spaced. You should bring a copy of your completed assignment to class with you on Wednesday. The topic for the paragraph is "steps to being a successful IECP student."

The following sentence has three mistakes. Who can find them first?

1) The paragraphs about music groups on the student's blogs are very impressive and I am excited to see how much the student's writing will improve this semester.


See you Wednesday!
