Every year on 16 October, bloggers around the world take part in Blog Action Day (BAD). Generally there is a theme to write about like poverty, pollution, raise your voice and so on. But this year due to family commitments, the three volunteers who run this day are unable to get things organized like they normally do. But they would still like to see bloggers doing some writing.
So they have suggested, write about something you are passionate about.
The special event here at the student blogging challenge will be:
Is there something in your town, state, country, the world that you feel needs to be improved or changed?
- It might be having ramps into all public buildings in your town to help the elderly in wheelchairs and using walking sticks.
- It might be ways to stop plastics being sent into our oceans.
Think small, think big, think local, think global.
What can you as a student do to help make this change you would like seen?
Remember a great post will have:
- catchy title
- written in paragraphs
- include links to other web pages
- include visuals like images and videos
- be proofread carefully
Make sure you include the hashtag for #BAD2016 somewhere in your post. Also include #16stubc so I can find posts quickly.
You might also like to design a badge that you can use on your own blog to show you wrote as part of BAD2016
Still got some time left:
Make sure you visit these posts that couldn’t be flipped to the magazine:

I love the idea of everyone giving their own ideas to try and make the world a better place. Come check out my blog, please. I talked about suicide and how we should do simple things to help everyone who is fighting hard to not take their life away. http://5522emilyrosen5004.blogspot.com/2016/10/stop-suicide-and-start-smiling.html

I think that your doing good to help us on making good comments.Did you know that helping people make people feel good.Im now made a blog to help people make good comments.Are you really nice or just a teacher just helping.
I was a teacher for 35 years but retired 5 years ago and now teach a bit of blogging to teachers and students, but enjoy travelling and researching family history.
I have enjoyed this blogging challenge very much. I watched the “How to Make Effective Comments” videos that you have posted. They really do describe how to make an effective comment. This is the first comment that I have posted on my blog and I am doing what the “How to Make Effective Comments” videos described to do. Thank you for posting the videos they have really thought me something!
