Post of Your Choice x 2

Hello! As we wind down this last week together, I want to give you a chance to blog about whatever you want for your final two posts. Please include the following in either or both posts:

A link
An embedded video
Pictures

Here's your chance to share about anything that you've been thinking about lately, or just want to explore!

These 2 posts will make up your last two grades!
Cheers!

Tell Me a Story

Tell Me A Story

Find an image that relates to your topic in some way. It would help to have people in it, and the more dramatic, the better. Post first. 

Beneath it, make up a story or tell the story that goes with the picture. Be creative! Should be at least 15 sentences with some descriptive elements. 

It could be a fiction story or real. It could be about something that happened to you or that you make up. 

Some descriptive elements you could add would be things like: dialogue, similes, imagery, metaphors, personification, alliteration, etc....

Guest Blogging Post

Guest Blogger Post

This assignment requires some creativeness and trust!  

What it is:  You partner with someone and take over each other’s blogs for the day.

What do you write about? Since you are “taking over” the other person’s blog, 

you have to write about a topic that would fit their blog to some extent.

What does a “Guest Post” include?

1. You have to introduce yourself and post a picture of you at the top of
    the post and explain your relationship to the person whose blog you are taking over.

   

    Example: Hello everyone! This is Maggie from Tatertots and Jello. Today, 

I’m taking over for Christina who is one of my best DIY friends. We just attended

 a home decor conference together and she asked me to share my favorite tips 

for organizing my home in the new year, so here goes!

.

3. You must write a post that is 250-500 words and include at least two pictures about a 

topic related to your partner’s blog. Talk with them about what you could write about.

4. You need to put a link to your blog in the post so people who found this blog 

can follow you if they want to.

5. Title the post : Guest Post: Topic (Fill in the topic you decide on!)

Blog Interview

Blogging

Interviews and Profiles

A popular item included in many blogs involves doing an interview (usually with someone famous 
or at least famous in blogland) and revealing the interview questions and answers on the blog.

We are going to be interviewing each other for this next project, but before we do, you need to 
come up with some interview questions. Think of this like a survey that is tied to your blog topic. 
What are 10-15 survey questions you’d like to ask someone about the topic you care about?

For instance, if  you blog about cooking, maybe one of your interview questions could be: 
What meal would you want to have if you knew it would be your last and why?

If you blog about home decor, one question might be:
 If you were given 25,000 dollars to redo some aspect of your home, what would you do and why?

Make your 10-15 questions open-ended so that they are things anyone could answer without
 being an expert. It would be ideal if they are all related to your blog topic in some way.

Today and tomorrow's goal : Come up with a list of 10-15 questions that you could 
ask and interview people about related to your blog topic. 
Type them, and print them out for me.

How to put into your blog…

Type the question like:

1. What countries have you been to, and which one did you like the most? Why?

Megan: Response

Josie: Response

Hannah: Response

2.  Keep going!

Writing a Review

Hello everyone!
Today and Monday we will be working on how to write a good review of a product or item related to your personal blog. If your blog is about video games, review a game. If it's about fashion, review a store, type of clothing or type of make-up. If it's about cooking, review a famous chef show or cooking utensil..you get the picture. :)

Follow along on your handout to make sure you include all the elements needed to write your review, so that you can earn a perfect "10"!

Cheers!

Happy New Year Top 5!

Happy 2018!
I hope you had a good break, got lots of sleep, relaxed, and had fun with friends and family! Today we are doing something a lot of bloggers do in the new year - look back and rank ideas or items from 2017.

Every new year, lots of “Top 10” lists come out that rank anything and everything from the previous year. Today, you are working on a new post that will include several links and your opinions. You will be creating a TOP 5 LIST of your favorite/worst  items/bloggers/etc… related to your topic. Each item should include the following:

Number 

Name of Item – (link embedded)

IMAGE

Two reasons/comments why you included it in your top 5 list.

Top worst tattoo spelling mistakes

Have fun with this one!
