Blogging Competition
Thanks to finding Miss W’s class blog we are now involved in the the competition to help us meet fellow bloggers from around the world and improve our communication skills.
Miss W reminds us that:
- you will need to keep track of the comments you make – use a word document or something similar and cut and paste all your comments
- whenever you write a post or comment include stubc08 somewhere in the writing
- you will need to visit her class blog at least once a week to find out the activities to try
But most importantly, have fun and remember blogging is about:
Let’s get started. Yesterday we talked about creating a dialog with other bloggers by leaving comments. We discussed the characteristics of an appropriate comment: being polite and positive, asking questions, adding your personal knowledge, being relevant and constructive, watching your language and grammar. On your journey through other student blogs perhaps you would like to add the ones you like best to your blogroll.
NEW THIS WEEK:
9. Where I live: Become a tour guide to the place you live.
a) Link to maps and tourist websites, reccomending your vistors where to visit and why.
b) Talk about your typical school day
c) Create a cluster map
10. Festivals and Celebrations: Write a post about a festival or celebration you have attended. What festivals are unique to The Netherlands? To your own culture? Describe the festival and its history. Make your post at least three paragraphs long so your readers will have lots to comment about. Include properly referenced creative commons photos.
Hi, I subcribed for the Cluster Map but it seems that you have to pay for it. Could you help me out?
Hi,
Welcome to the world of blogging and the blogging challenge. I’m the proud teacher of 21 grade 6&7 students in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. I’ve been blogging with my students for nearly two years. Blogging is a wonderful way to create a network of learners for your students to work with and create an authentic audience for their writing.
