Tuesday Post Directions

Below are some ideas for blog posts.  Do as many as you want.  Aim for quality, not quantity.


Step 1.  Talk to a partner.  A. Edit Monday's post if you need to.  B.  Decide what you want your first post to be about.  Talk to your partner about your ideas.


POST POSSIBILITIES

  • Finish any unpublished posts from Mon. 
  • Use your journal from class. Choose an entry or two and put it on the blog. (Make sure it is something you are comfortable sharing with your audience.)
  • Write about a topic from class: developing relationships, understanding potential, communication, leadership, choices, goal setting, problem solving, team work, leadership, etc.
  • Write about some activities you have done: Campus Tour, Kickball, Getting up at 6:00 to run, Challenge Course, Bowling, Bridge of Knowledge, and Dodgeball, blogging.
  • Apply what you are learning: What are some ways that you can take what you have been learning back to your school and apply them?
Step 2: Edit with a partner. (Read it out loud.)

  • Does it have your name and the day in the title and labels?
  • Do all of your sentences begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation?
  • Is your "I" capitalized? It doesn't want to be a small i. Don't hurt it's feelings.
  • Is everything spelled correctly? (You can use the spell checker.)
  • Can you or your partner think of any details or descriptive adjectives/adverbs that can make it more interesting?
Happy blogging!
