Writing Comparision

For your first blog post, you will need to write a comparsion. Compare your writing style to something. Does it take you a long time to get started? Do you give up half way through? I can't wait to see what creative ideas you come up with.

Graduation.

Well....the time most of you have been counting down on my board is almost here. Graduation. For some, I think the closer it gets, the more nervous/apprehensive they feel about this new sense of freedom. And others can't wait to get out of here! :-)

This week's blog: What does graduation mean to you? How do you feel about graduation? What will you take away from ADM?


Blog due by 3:45 Friday 5/10. This will be our last blog post.

What makes a good movie?

This week, we will be transitioning from writing fiction to writing screenplays. While both need good plot line, they are definitely two very different styles of writing. This week for your blog: what makes a good movie stand out? What must it have? What makes your favorite movie your favorite?

Tell me about your love for the movies. Include Youtube videos of some of your favorite clips/trailers from great movies!

20 points for the writing
5 extra points for videos attached to your blog!

Blog Post: Free Blog post!

I'm giving you a free Blog post this week! You can blog about anything (appropriate)--make sure your blog is long enough. I will be strict with your posting due time--it MUST be posted by 3:45 on Friday or it is late. No Extentions!

Fiction Lead-Ins!

For your blog this week, I want you to write a quick paragraph for your short story we are starting this week. Think like what you would see on the inside cover of a book--a little teaser making people want to read your short story.

If you make me want to read your short story, you will receive all points for the blog. Good luck!

Fiction Writing

This week, we are going to focus on Fiction Writing. What makes good fiction writing? What makes a good short story/book stand out to you?

Write  at least two paragraphs on these questions followed by a quick book review of a great book you've read lately. I'll post an example on here later today.

A day in your life....in pictures!

I'm sure you may have seen blogs do this, but I think it's interesting how you can say so much about you and your life...without saying anything at all.

This blog will be due on Thursday, March 14th at 1:00. (You have almost 2 weeks to work on it). I want you to show me what your life is like using only photos. You must use at least 8 photos in your blog post.

Ways to do this: You can take them with your phone, email them to yourself, and upload them to your blog. You can take them on a camera, upload them to your computer, and upload them to your blog.

If you don't have a way of doing this assignment, let me know.

The positive thing about this blog post: no writing involved! Best creative. Have fun. Show me...you!
