As many students are starting to leave the challenge due to end of term, I have decided to publish two posts very quickly for the last two weeks of the challenge. Week 9 is about proving your blogging skills learnt this year and Week 10 is reflecting and evaluating your blog and the challenge.
Now is your chance to prove your skills
Activity 1
Write the very best post you can for your teachers and visitors to read.
Remember essentials for a great post:
- catchy title
- includes at least one visual (with attribution) whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster
- interesting topic with the passion of the author coming through
- well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else
- shows it has been proofread and spellchecked
- written in paragraphs – at least three of them
- includes links to other websites on similar topics – at least two of these
- ends with a question to lure your visitors into leaving a comment
Your choice of topics: only write about one of them
- History
- Inventions
- Travel
- Favourites
- Science
When you have finished your post and your teacher has published it, then return here to leave a link to the post. We still have some students just leaving a link to their blog rather than the exact post.
Activity 2
Do you have a favourite blog (not from your class though) that you visit often?
Write a post about that blog and why you keep going back there. Remember to include links to a couple of posts they have written. Also leave a comment on their blog to say you have written a post about them.
Still got time left
Visit other blogs and leave quality comments.
Read the magazine and visit posts to leave comments on.
