New Rules

So – with more screens in the house and more options for screen time, this is an outline of some basics as to how to access that screen time.

Aside from the regular rules about jobs around the house and limits on time … there is a new rule being instituted for access to screens.  You gotta’ write!  That’s right – you gotta write!  An online “blog” has been opened for you.  Each day you must write between two and five pargraphs (or more if you choose) to gain screen access.  If you do not do so, you will lose screen priveleges the following day.

Some suggestions as to what to write …  Write about your day – what did you like, not like.  Write about a favourite song or show.  Write about a funny incident.  Write about a sports team or athletic competition.  Write about something in the news or something you saw coming home from school. 

If your writing is particularly impressive, that is, if you can creatively express what you have experienced, what you feel or if you can craft a great story – you will be rewarded with extra screen time.

You must write at least 5 days per week.

Here is how you access your blog.

Go to www.wordpress.com  – choose “login” - enter username “wiebelog” and password “icedogs”.  Aidan choose blog “slider99.wordpress.com”, also called “Leave the Room”.  Matthew choose blog maxsqueek.wordpress.com, also called “maxsqueeks”.  Write your daily contribution in the “post” area, check it over and then click “publish”.  Your blog will be checked for posts each evening before 8pm.  If a post is present then screen priveleges will be available for the following day.

SEE YOU ONLINE!
