A Penny for your Thoughts-Summer 2017
How to Blog?
Find a current issue or event in any area (music, clothing trend, politics, food, culture or cultural festivity, religion, history, community issue etc) that is resting on your mind or that is of interest to you. You must be specific with the issue when you choose it. Anything too broad will result in you being vague; for example, if you choose politics, do not speak about all political leaders in general; instead focus on ONE political figure, such as our president Trump and discuss, in detail, the issue that intrigues or bothers you.
You must use a minimum of one paragraph (6-8 sentences) to highlight the issue; remember to include details around the three areas of the writing rubric: Focus, Organization and Elaboration
You must write your first name and first initial of your last name for grading purposes (e.g Patricia J). You must respond to another student's blog posting by agreeing or disagreeing with some or most parts of what the student has posted. Be respectful. All Blog Posting MUST be written in Standard English (no expletive, no vernacular-no matter how passionate you feel about the subject! Failure to do so will result in no credit for the activity! Happy blogging!
