Rules of the Blog...

Okay Everyone,

Here are a few rules to follow as we carry out this project...

1. Bring your books to class everyday. You will be reading and thinking and writing up in the computer lab/library - or on your phones/tablets.  Of course, you should also be posting and responding outside of class too!
2. For your posts, title each new thread with the subject/topic you are talking about. 
3. When you make an original post, explain where you are coming from. Reference the passage (by stating which book it is and the page number of what made you stop and think) and then make your point.
4. For commenting, simply click on the "Comment" link on the bottom of the respective post. When commenting, do not just be in agreement or disagreement. Make a point or two and describe your thoughts. Both AP Biology teachers (and hopefully other faculty and former AP Biology students of ours) will be actively participating as well.
5. Each student is required to have at least one substantial post per week as well as at least three significant comments per week. The instructors will let you know if you are lacking in this department.
6. When posting or commenting, feel free to add images, videoclips, or other information you find on-line to support your thoughts. Using humor (appropriately used in context - Ben, you do not have carte blanche!) is encouraged. Random comments such as "Joe is dumb..." will be deleted at once and frankly is a waste of time...

Below are a few examples of posts and comments from past years...  Take a look, it is not as bad as you might think.  Besides, it is pretty interesting to see how everyone thinks about some cool biology topics.


I hope all enjoy this endeavor as I use this forum for discussion...
