Welcome to our Classroom BlogPortal!

Our Classroom BlogPortal consists of two layers. This is the first layer. On our homepage students will find other students entries as well as news and assignments from the teacher.

 default

The second layer consists of all the individual blogs of students. This could be a photoblog designed for sharing photographs, or a traditional blog.
This web portal is the work of the afternoon English class at Emerson High School, Idaho Falls, Idaho.  Emerson is a fully-accredited high school in Idaho Falls School District #91 with approximately 150 students and 8 full-time teachers.  The principal is Wendy Cavan.
A note about free writes:  Many of the student stories on this blog are free-writes.  The goal is to get the student to write quickly, freely, and with immediacy.  Spelling and punctuation are tossed to the wayside on a free-write.  These are not corrected stories but raw stories, and should not be judged as proof-edited entities.

Happy blogging!
