Yesterday in per. 2 English students were asked to start their own blogs. Having an online blog means that students will be able to write much in the way they would in journals, but with all the convenience of being able to complete their work using a computer.
The Activity:
1) Create an igoogle account, if you don't have one already. You can do this by going to google.ca and selecting "sign in" and then create an account. You will need to activate your account by going to your email and clinking on the ik that google sends you.
2) Next, go to www.blogger.com and "Create a Blog." You will need to sign in with your igoogle password. Use your full name in the title of your blog--this way I will be able to tell you apart from the many other student blogs I visit. You can put anything in the address, as long as no one else is using it.
3) Once you are in your blog go to 'settings' and then 'permissions' and then 'add authors.' Invite ewcwriter@live.ca to be an author--this will allow me to leave comments on your blog.
4) Write your first post. Please use the title "Grade 10 Literacy Test"
5) Write two pargraphs on the Grade Ten Literacy Test. The first paragraph should answer the question: "What do you know about the literacy test?" The second paragraph should answer the question: "How well prepared do you feel for the literacy test?"
That's all! Most students were able to complete the activity in under an hour. Post a comment if you have any questions.
