Criteria for blogs

I believe the three points for a blog would be content, length, and quality of writing. The cintent should, of course be relevant to the topic and include important facts from either what we've gone over in class or what is in the book. The length should be at least five sentences but not so long that it is time consuming for Mr. Whitten to read. The quality of writing should include grammar and spelling as well as full sentences, however it should not be so elaborate writing that it is difficult or complicated. If any one of these parts are missing they drop the number. If there is a post at least containing one of theae posts they should get a 1 and if they have all of them the stident should recieve a 3. If the post is completely unrelated and shorter than 5 sentences they should recieve a zero, even if they have correct grammar or spelling. Students should write their honest thoughts and opinions and not feel pressured by the knowledge that other students are reading their posts. So I believe it should not be necessary for students to read each others posts.
