I wanted a banana, I wanted baloney
But this cook, must be a phony
I told the waiter what I wanted today
And guess what, not a word did he say
The cook said he’d do it, and a good cook he was
He got a banana, and gave it to my cuz’
My cousin ate it like a pig, watching him was not fun
And when he was done, oh, when he was done
He gave it back to the cook, and I was wondering why
And then he brought out my lunch and I said, “OH MY!
There was the banana peel all yellow and green
And the baloney inside, oh this cook is so mean
I didn’t touch the baloney, I didn’t touch the peel
But so mad this cook made me feel
I stomped out of the restaurant not even paying a dime
And I went to a new restaurant where I got a tasty lime
At the end of the day I was feeling sick
So I said goodnight to my dog named Mick
I sat down on my queen-sized bed
And I layed down to rest my head
Hey Kathryn,
This is a really creative post. This is the only post like this that I ever read. How did you think of this post? I’m amazed that you could think of this. This is so good. I wonder if this is true?
Have an amazing day.

Hey Kathryn,
WOW, this is the best blog ever. I never in my life read a blog related to this one. How did you think of this? It must of took you ages. Now, im truly wondering if this rap is a true story.
However, if you have a chance to see my blog, visit http://stevenonlineo.edublogs.org/
I hope you have a great end of your day!
Sincerely’ Steven
Hello again Kathryn,
I hope you had a good week. I see you haven’t posted for a while. I hope everything is ok. 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 rather than a straightforward factual one.
2. At least one visual (with attribution) whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster. I like your picture and that you have attributed it.
3. An interesting topic with your passion for the subject coming through
4. A post that is well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else. Yes certainly yours is.
5. A post has been proofread and spellchecked. Yes it is accurate.
6. One that is written in paragraphs – at least three of them. As it is a poem, it doesn’t need paragraphs… verses perhaps instead just to break up the text.
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.
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
Merry Beau

Hi! My name is Shaima and i’m from Qatar International School, the poem is glorious I admired it! I wonder if its true? I haven’t commented on your blogs for a while! But when i came back and was reading this blog i was going to fall from my chair! this blog is amazing and i loved it! Did you write this on your own?
This is not a true story. I did write this on my own. I went to your blog a few times and read most of the cat stories.
I am really looking forward to what to write for this week’s challenge;
The 9th week of the Student Blogging Challenge
Write the very best post you can for your teachers and visitors to read.
You can read more about what Ms.Wyatt wants you to do here:
