Curlew 7 Cybersations - Introduction (10 points)

Hello Seventh Graders!

Throughout the year you will have several opportunities to use this blog for language arts and social studies assignments. For those of you who don't know what a blog is, well, "blog" is short for "web log." Web is the same as the Internet, and a log is a journal. A web log or blog is a journal that is stored on the web, instead in the top drawer of your night stand or under a pillow on the sofa.

This is your first blog assignment. It is worth 10 points.
