Welcome Students!

Welcome!You have been invited to pioneer a new form of classroom discussion. We will be holding discussions about current events and other issues related to our English curriculum. These threaded discussions will allow you to investigate an issue, form your own commentary, and react to others’ comments on a number of issues. While it is important to continue to improve interpersonal and public speaking skills, this is a great way for those of you who, for whatever reason, are reluctant to participate in class to voice your ideas.

For security purposes, only students in my classes will be allowed to participate in the discussion. This way I can regulate what people post. It is crucial that you DO NOT post profanity, slanderous comments, or any other offensive remarks Your posts will be graded and ALL posts must focus solely on the issue under discussion.

IMPORTANT! Posts will be closely monitored. If you choose to post anything that I deem irresponsible, nonacademic, or offensive you will be suspended from the discussion board, receive zeros for all of the remaining discussions, and be subject to further punishment.When posting, please reply to the post, not create a new one.

I will email you an exclusive invitation to the discussion board. To access the discussion board go to the following website:http://www.englishmsgentile.blogspot.com/
