Week 9: Doing my best

Well, this is our second last week in the March challenge for 2014. Over the last 8 weeks, you have learnt a lot about blogging if you have done most of the activities and checked out the links included in my posts.
It is now your time to do your best and show your teachers and myself what a great blog post looks like.
The one and only activity for this week:
Write a post on one of the following topics
- What makes a great family
- A global issue you would like to help solve
- My future
- Visiting overseas
Having read many of your posts, I came up with the following essentials in a great post.
- catchy title
- includes at least one visual whether photo, cartoon, video or another web 2.0 tool like padlet or glogster
- interesting topic with the passion of the author coming through
- well written and not copy/pasted from somewhere else
- shows it has been proofread and spellchecked
- written in paragraphs – at least three of them
- includes links to other websites on similar topics – at least two of these
When you have finished your post, please come back here to the blogging challenge and leave a comment on this post. Mention which topic you wrote about and leave a link to your post. Those posts covering the seven things mentioned above will be added to the flipboard magazine.
Still more time left this week:
Visit other student and class blogs.
Read posts and leave comments.
Decide on a student blog and/or class blog you would like to nominate for the Edublogs Awards in November/December this year. You will get a chance next week to write a post about the blog you have chosen. HINT: Can’t be your own blog nor one from another student in your class.

Hello Miss W.,
Ghost just finished his post on family. Sometimes you are not always sure exactly how your children feel, so it was interesting for me to read. He did good job, and he even got a little creative with the picture he added.

Hi Miss W,
For this weeks blogging challenge I chose to write about the topic “My Future”. I also tried to include many of the “essentials in a great post” that you mentioned. This week definitely got me thinking, I hope you have time to check my post out, and tell me what you think about it!

I have updated my post on “Family”. I took the advice you gave me, and added the owner’s of the pictures. Since this is the first time I did this, and didn’t have a clear idea on what to do, I have just added the links to where they are from. Check it out at:
