==**Welcome to the third day of Creating Your Civic Identity!**  == 
 * Announcements:**

 Due to Monday's 1/2 day schedule a number of you may not have had enough time to complete your last assignment. Please complete your previous assignments before beginning this assignment. Thanks!

Also, I realized that the links for your comic strips only go to the bubblr home page. After publishing your comic click "blog this" at the bottom of the screen. Copy and paste the html code into your blog (see step 2 below). 


 * Objectives**

 Today you will:
 * 1) Peer review other students posts about First Amendment issues
 * 2) Create a blog where you are going to create a journal of your experiences of developing your civic identity
 * 3) Learn about legal issues affected by the Fourth Amendment

Although you may not always with what you read, constrictive criticism is positive and contributes to and elaborates on the discussion topic. Always keep your comments appropriate and academic.
