A Perfect 3 Sentence Answer

Completing assignment in the correct format is important in all classes.  When you respond to a question through Edmodo or the blog as a warmup you must use a "Perfect 3 Sentence Answer".  Here are the steps for completing a "Perfect 3 Sentence Answer".

1. List your first name and last initial.
2. List your hour.
3. Give your answer a title.  Center your title.
4. The first sentence restates and answers the question.  Make sure that you indent.  When typing, an indent for a paragraph is four spaces.
5. Sentence two and three support your answer.

If you were answering the questions, "Why is it important to make sure your Ethernet and power cord are properly plugged in," your answer would look similar to this:

Amie B.
1st Hour
                                                       Check the Important Things
    It is important that you check that your Ethernet cord and power cord are properly plugged in when you begin working on the computer.  The Ethernet cord provides you access to the internet.  If the power cord is not plugged in your computer could shut off while you are working.
