Title: My Tribes Forum
Course: BC - English 8 - 2.0.0.0

After you have filled in the circles on the My Tribes Web worksheet, create a forum post to introduce yourself. You can include a picture of yourself, if you like. You should share the different tribes that you are part of, as this will help your classmates get to know you.

Putting your post in the format of a poem is optional, but encouraged.

After you have created your own post, explore the posts of your classmates. Because this is an introductory forum, try to visit as many of your classmates as you can. Then, respond with a greeting to at least five of them. If you like, you can comment on tribes that you share in common or tribes that you do not share in common.

Please remember to be respectful and kind, no matter what you say.

This is a get-to-know-you assignment, so just be friendly, welcoming, and hospitable to others.
