PARENTS! Parent Authorization Form

Stage 1a – Get Set Up

  • Everyone will have to publish (after taking work  through the entire creative process) the same basic pages on their sites. Additional pages can be added per my approval and proof of the entire creative/writing process.
  • When it comes to comments people send in to your website pages or posts, a comment or post MUST be approved before it can post. This is a setting that must be made in the Settings area of the site. Do not approve comments written by people who we do not know. If you approve comments by people we do not know, your site will be deleted. Get parental/teacher approval first.
  • You may approve comments by people we know, such as:
    • classmates with the email addresses we know
    • classmates with Edublogs addresses we have in our links lists
    • teachers who now teach you or have taught you in this school system
    • administrators at this school or at other schools you’ve attended
    • your parents and/or legal guardians

TODAY’S Task – Meet your group members, get acquainted.  You’ll be put into 4 person groups for various projects throughout the year. You will have to work with them one way or another for everything that goes into your websites.

    1. Author1/Author – You will be the creative force for your art. Your art will go through changes after it leaves your care and before it gets back to you. If you do not like the changes made by your publishing house, you may revert the draft back to your original form. You will redraft your own art as you see fit to do that only once after it gets back to your care.
    2. Author2/Editor – You will scrutinize Author1’s work. You will NOT revise the work. You will ONLY proof and mark up the text for any/every grammar and punctuation correction that must be made. You may make other suggestions for where you feel Author1 could provide more detail (5 senses), more character development, better driving plot, better setting descriptions, etc… Any suggestions you want to make, you may make. Keep it pleasant and receptive. You don’t want to push Author1 away from their creative force.
    3. Author3/Copy Editor- You will take all the suggestions made by Author2, the Editor. You will make all of the grammar and punctuation corrections to the text. You may, but do not have to, make any changes suggested by Author2 besides grammar and punctuation. You may NOT make any changes not indicated by Author2.
    4. Author4/Publisher – You will publish this work on your website giving credit to the authors editors. You must include graphic representation(s) that connect with the art being published.
