Summer Assignment 8.27

UPDATE 8.28: The link for the class wiki has been changed to the current year. It went to last years site in the original post.

This will be the final week of the summer assignment this year. Great job with all the comments, I hope you found some of the articles I linked to interesting. There are a few things I have for you to do this week.
  • To get credit for this week's entry, comment about what your favorite post was over the summer, and what you are most looking forward to learning more about this year.
  • If you are registered for Dr. H's class (Block 1 or 2), please visit this website and request access. If you have used PB Works before, you can use your previous account information and will not have to confirm your email. If you are new to PB Works, you DO NOT need to use your school email account to request access. After I accept you, you will receive a confirmation email. 
  • If you are registered for Miss Drust's class (Block 3), she will provide you with the course website.
  • Once you have access to the wiki, feel free to have a look around. It is still a work in progress, so there is not too much there yet. There are some things on the front page for you to do.
I also wanted to share with you this comment left on the blog post from last week:
I am amazed by your thought provoking and well written commentary on these articles. I wrote the article about clownfish in Finding Nemo, and was glad to see that this was used in a biology class for a teaching experience. Keep up the great work and don't be afraid to ask questions. If someone doesn't know the answer to your question, then it must be a good question, and is worth exploring for the answer. If you ever have ideas, questions, or thoughts about fish, don't ever hesitate to write us at TheFisheriesBlog@gmail.com, and we will do our best to help you discover the answer!

So there you go, its not only me that says you are doing a great job with your comments and insights. Hope you have something fun planned for the last week of vacation. I am looking forward to seeing you all in two weeks.
