Family! WeEk 5 BlOg ChAlLeNgE
My family is a really big group! I have 12 cousins, 5 uncle’s, 5 aunts, and 4 grandparents. I have a really big family and a lot to write about, well here I go.
What I have to say first that us as a family that we all respect each other and care for each other. So my family and I do a lot of stuff for every month and here’s what we do for the months. January we don’t do anything because it really snowy and we stuck at home, February we celebrate Valentine’s day by 3 birthdays and valentine’s day, March we don’t do anything, April we always have an adult easter egg hunt at legion if you want to come, May we don’t do anything, June is the best month ever because us all kids get out of school so then we can get our summer vacation on, July is amazing because we get to go down to Ocean City Maryland for about 1 week for the Fourth of July.
August is fun and bad at the same time. It’s my sister’s birthday and we get to go to Ocean City Maryland again, and the worst part about it that we have to go back to school and no more summer vacation, September is my favorite month because it’s my birthday and my dad’s and his twin’s birthday it’s also my two cousins and my aunts birthday. We go to Shady Maple to celebrate all those birthdays, October is where we get the scary stuff and scare people, it’s one of my favorite holidays because all I do is scare people all day and prank, November is we come to my Nanny’s house and have a feast for ThanksGiving, December is when every single member of our family comes together and we have a big christmas party. We open all our presents and gifts before we play this one game. We always play this game where our nanny pulls out a ticket and a winner will come up and pick a bag, then the next person will go when they got their ticket pulled out and if they don’t like what they got then they can trade with the person that went before them. Then the person that went first can show everyone what they got.
Just my family travels a lot and we play a lot of sports. I play football and basketball, my brother plays lacrosse and he does wrestling, my sister plays basketball, lacrosse and volleyball. We love sports and playing them too. We travel a lot of places for tournaments or games. We had to go to Penn State for a tournament. My tournaments were all in reading and my brother plays at different schools. BYE!!
Hello again Owen,
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. Alliteration is good…so something like Fabulous Family or Families are Fun.
2. At least one visual (with attribution) whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster. This would make your blog so much more eye catching.
3. An interesting topic with your passion for the subject coming through. I can tell you LOVE your family.
4. A post that is well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else. Yes certainly, this is original.
5. A post has been proofread and spellchecked. Spelling and punctuation seems accurate.
6. One that is written in paragraphs – at least three of them. Yes you are doing this.
7. One that includes links to other websites on similar topics – at least two of these. Many students are not doing this. 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 5 out of 7. 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 by adding a catchy title and a picture … or you could do this next time.
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
