Posting Changes

For all classes.... If you are having a problem posting, I have changed the format within the blog. You still need to sign up for a Google account and follow the blog so you can get the updates and notifications sent to your e-mail account. HOWEVER, you are now able to type your comment and click the box next to the "Comment As" section near the bottom of the page that is entitled "Select Profile." Once you click that, you would need to select the "Name/URL" option and enter your FIRST AND LAST name. If you do not, I will not be able to accurately give you credit for your homework assignment. 1st and 4th periods, don't worry. I HAVE NOT forgot about your additional assignments. Great blog responses thus far. Your responses are still due by tomorrow, August 25 by 11:59 pm. Any responses received after than will NOT be accepted. Also, your Quizstar vocabulary assignments are due tonight by 11:59 pm. All usernames are now uploaded to the website (www.wix.com/mlklions/nunnallywhclass) and available if you need them. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to e-mail me. Good luck on your assignments!
