Why I got Fired
Why I Got Fired
By: Luke K., Jackson C. and Connor B.
Dear Diary,
I was in my cave hiding aggravated and was working overtime, at about quarter past 11:00pm. I was trying to get a rat completely engulfed in flames. We humans were pretty dumb back in the day. As I was working in the light of two moons. Back when I was still in shape, the moment that changed everything just went on and it was all because of my experiment.I put sticks in a triangular shape and rubbed flint and steel together. I saw sparks go off or what I like to call them “fire bullets!”.,
I would the most important person in history, right after I took out the second moon. Just a hunch, if you haven’t figured out yet that was the big moment. It happened like this I threw the rat into the triangle of fire bullets. The rat squealed in pain. My experiment went perfectly until the rat actually flew up into the sky and took out the second moon. I think it went at the speed of dinosaurs on taco Tuesday during rush hour. Or the speed of the Tyrannosaurus Rex when it was racing me. I definitely won. It wasn’t even close. If you asked the Tyrannosaurus Rex he would say otherwise though. I stole his meatloaf and then it wasn’t really a race for him anymore, it was more like eat this caveman for a midday snack.. True story.
The Justice Squad is a group of pterodactyls with the best motto ever. And it is “Justice Rains From Above.” They are like the prehistoric day cops. They were about to arrested me for blowing up the second moon. Luckily part of the moon, blew up landed on the Justice Squad before they could arrest me. I ran away and well got fired.
Hello again Luke,
I hope you had a good week. I hope you had a great ‘blogging’ week. Just to check are you prepared for the commenting game that will be coming up as part of the Student Challenge in a couple of weeks?
1. Have you at least 5 other student blogs linked on the sidebar of your blog; blogs from other students around the world, not just those in your class or school. I see you have done this.
2. Do you have a blogroll or link category called Global students or Global classes. I put a link about how to do this in my previous message. Great I see you have done this too.
So Ms. Wyatt’s essentials in a great post are below. I have added whether I think you have achieved this in your most recent post:
1. A catchy title. Yes ‘Why I got fired’ is an interesting title. That has people wondering and wanting to read more.
2. At least one visual (with attribution) whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster. I think a visual would make this post look more interesting.
3. An interesting topic with your passion for the subject coming through. Yes this was interesting and imaginative.
4. A post that is well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else. Yes it was well written and original.
5. A post has been proofread and spellchecked. Yes it was accurate.
6. One that is written in paragraphs – at least three of them. Good to see paragraphing.
7. One that includes links to other websites on similar topics – at least two of these. A lot of students are not including links. Can you think of one that would be relevant e.g. How fire was invented, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. There is a good trick to get people to read more of your blog and to stay longer. You could say, and if you enjoyed this post by me, why not read … and leave a link to another post.
So you have achieved a good score. Ms.Wyatt says that if your post covers the seven things mentioned above e.g. has a catchy title, includes at least one visual etc. etc., it will be added to the flipboard magazine.
Could you make any changes so that it would score 7 out of 7?
When you have done that, Ms. Wyatt suggests you go to the blogging challenge and leave a comment on this post.
Here is the link to the post she is talking about: http://studentchallenge.edublogs.org/2017/04/23/week-6-what-to-write-about/
Just to remind you she asks that you ‘mention what topic you wrote about and leave a link to your post’….not a link to your blog but to the post.
I would also make clear that this post is not ‘other homework’ but a response to the Student Blogging Challenge by adding the hashtag
#stubc17 Week 6 to the title.
Hope you find this helpful. With every good wish
