Blog Post #2: Description of your childhood

Happy Monday everyone!
I read all of your blog entries from last week. Now that we are well into understanding how a blog works, I need to reiterate/set a few ground rules.

#1: To receive credit for a blog post, it needs to be a well-developed piece of writing. I.E. a sentence or two will NOT work! Spend some time thinking about what you want to discuss. Ask your audience questions! Question yourself and what you got out of an experience!

#2: Please be smart about what you post on here. I know it is YOUR blog, but it is still a school requirement. If I find anything to be offensive, I will ask you to take it down and you will get zero credit for your blog that week.

#3: Read other people's blogs. Not just your friends' blogs, but any blog you can get ahold of! You can get great ideas for blogs from others. Starting next week, I will require that you start commenting on your peers' blogs. So you might as well start now.


As for your blog post this week: we are starting poetry in class this week and are focusing on "Where I'm From" poems. I'd like you to post this week about something from your childhood. It could be a memory about a special event, person, memento (like your blanket), etc.  Why is this the memory you wanted to share on your blog? What do you think this memory has done to "shape" who you are today? 

Don't just start with "This week we have to blog about our childhood." Find a fun way to grab our attention about your post. Pictures are always great to add if you can! I always post an example one on my "We Speech Good" account. Look there for inspiration.

Good Luck. Have Fun.
