Commenting
Commenting in a forum or on a piece of content (ie Illuminated Text, Teacher Lesson, etc.) is worth 2 points. Remember the following points when you are commenting:
Quotes

- Make sure the quote is not already on the site. The easiest way to do this is to type the name of the author in the search box - it should bring up everything on that author (including quotes).
- Enter all of the quote information that you know. There are separate parts of the form for the quote, the author, and the citation (the book it comes from).
Points for Lessons
Lessons that are uploaded are worth up to 50 points. Points are based on the completeness of the lesson and are not meant to reflect in anyway upon the worth or quality of the lesson itself. A complete lesson has a detailed lesson description (in the description box) and at least one attached handout. Lessons that are deemed not complete enough for the Lesson section of this website will be moved to the appropriate forum and the poster will be the points usually awarded for a forum comment. Please remember to check the formatting of your lesson descr
