Congratulations!

Students,

Congratulations on creating your blog! You will use your blog as a learning log where you will record what you are learning/have learned in class. You are expected to write one paragraph at least three times a week. You will also be expected to engage in peer-review by commenting on the blogs of at least 2 of your classmates. (You must choose different classmates each week). If you find yourself getting “writer’s block” when writing on your blog, you can jumpstart your writing by addressing the following questions:

What did you already know of the material presented in the lesson? What did you learn? What material was new to you?

What were the three most important things you learned in today’s lesson/independent practice?

What did you understand most/least about today’s lesson and independent practice? What would you like to know more about about the material?

What questions do you still have? How is the information you learned applicable to your other class assignments?

How is this class helping you with research in your other classes?

How is this class different from any others you've taken in high school?

How is this class the same as any others you've taken in high school?

What did you learn from reading someone else’s blog? Did it help you write your own blog entry?

If there was a reading assignment, what did you learn from the reading assignment? What did you not understand? What prior knowledge did you bring to the reading material?

Did you have a need for information today? If so, how did you go about finding it?

If you find yourself enjoying blogging, or think you would like to blog about something else, by all means create a personal blog using what you learned in this class.
