A few instructions and reminders:

1) Good English reigns here, too. Write in complete sentences and DO NOT use "internet shorthand". What you do on your own pages is your business, of course, but any discussion thread on this site needs to be standard English.

3) Remember that there is a Shelfari widget in Facebook. Also remember that our school computers are currently set to block Facebook.

4) Politeness is mandatory. Show respect for all the opinions posted here even if they differ greatly from your own. No profanity or vulgarity is allowed. Posters violating this policy will find their grade suffers as a result.
