We are four weeks into our blogging adventure. This week will be a chance for you to take a moment to reevaluate your work thus far...
As you can see on the left hand side of this page, links to your blogs are now posted on our class blog. If yours is not there, you need to see me so we can add it.
For those of you who have not posted three blogs, use this time to catch up. For those who have published three blogs, use this week as an opportunity to revisit your work and make some improvements.
In general, here are some suggestions for you based on the brief view I had of your blogs when adding them as links:
- All book titles should be italicized. i.e. The Hunger Games
- If you look at the rubric, you can see that proper use of language conventions will be evaluated. Your blog posts should be written in full sentences with proper spelling, punctuation, and good word choice (specific nouns and vivid verbs).
- If you would like a guideline of what merits a level 4, go to the page entitled "Posts: Achieving a Level Four" (look for the tab at the top of the home page) that has examples of Level 4 answers.
- Be sure to read the instructions carefully and fulfill all the requirements. Specifically...
Blog Post #1: Ensure that the quotation you chose appears under the name of your blog on the home page. Instructions on how to do this are given. Also, in addition to explaining the quotation's connection to your reading philosophy and habits, provide specific details about your life as a reader, both now and in the early days.
Blog Post #2: You are to have one paragraph giving a summary of the novel's content; another paragraph should have a brief review. Refer specifically to the novel as much as possible.
Blog Post #3: For this post, perhaps experiment a bit with adding images like I have done on this post. Add an image that represents your motif or your novel. One of the requirements of the Independent Novel Study blog is to add media features like clips, images, and aesthetic elements.
