ELA B10: Feb 26 Student explore blogging…

  1. Yesterday you did a great job of setting up your English blogs. Today, you’re going to continue with that and then write your first two posts.
  2. Assignment:
    1. Explore some of the ELA B10 blogs linked on my website that were created by former students. Choose any two and write a thoughtful and relevant comment about their content, being sure that it relates to our topic of discussion recently, “Inequality”. After writing your comments, be sure to add the Link from their blog post to your own entry so I can trackback to read your comments.
    2. Write your own blog post about Racial Inequality and some of the topics that have come up in our discussion. Remember there are certain requirements to complete for each blog, which include:
      1. A thoughtful and well-written journal response that reflects on the topic and ellaborates on your own personal views and convictions related to it. This writing should be a minimum of two paragraphs, being sure that a paragraph consists of at least five or six sentences. I’ll be looking for complex sentences that are consistent with students of your abilities and grade level.
      2. You’ll also have to add a picture to your post.
      3. Find an article or other blog website (belonging to someone outside our class) that discusses a similar topic. Your link must be relevant.
      4. Comment on a friend’s blog, from our class, being sure again that the comment is genuinie and relevant. You should create a link to your friend’s post that you added the comment to.
      5. The very last thing for you to do is include a youtube video, but for this blog post you will not do that just yet. (Because another teacher is broadcasting during this class, we need to be especially careful of any youtube searches. We’ll figure this process out later.)
    3. Enjoy the process!
