Posting Guidelines

In order to make this a more search-friendly place, here are some guidelines.

  1. For consistency, if you're posting a lesson plan or lesson idea (even if it's only in embryo form--that's okay!), use "Lesson Plan: ___(Lesson Title)___" as the title of your post. Use great keywords in your title to make it sortable, too--consider including categories in your title, like so: "Lesson Plan: Snapshot Essay (Writing)" or "Lesson Plan: Punctuating Dialogue via The Princess Bride (Grammar)."
  2. Don't forget to use the nifty "labels" feature built into Blogger! When you create a new post, you will see a skinny white text box at the bottom of the main section where you type. In that box, type in keywords about your post (like "lesson plan," "website," "hiring tips," etc.). Use any keywords that make sense to you. If you want to use the same keywords already used on this blog, click the blue words that say "Show all" next to the tiny text box.
  3. Unless you feel a strong urge to post anonymously, sign your posts so we know who you are. :-) It's fun to stay in touch!
  4. Don't forget that you can always edit your post later. (Just sign in to your Blogger/Google account, go to blogger.com, look for "My Dog Ate My Lesson Plans," and click "Edit Posts" in blue. (With that said, please don't edit someone else's post without permission.)
Thanks all!
