Midterm is right around the corner and so is the deadline for the blogging assignment for They Called It Prairie Light: The Story of Chilocco Indian School. From the beginning learners have been given points for timely submissions of their personal postings and peer responses. The next evaluation, using the BLOG REFLECTION RUBRIC, will assess your overall Chilocco blog.
So for those who are behind you need to get into your blog to ensure that you get points for timeliness for the last chapter and for the overall blog assignment! For those who have kept up with the chapter deadlines I would recommend going back in to ensure that you have meet the criteria outlined in the rubric.

The last chapter’s peer postings are due next Wednesday, March 3rd by 5:00 p.m.
