You have two tasks for your homework.
1. Find a current event article, print it, and bring it to class. Your article should be something that affects the whole world and changes many of lives.
2. Read the sample current event I posted on my blog and the sample posts and reflections my 6th grade students posted on their sites.
Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of your very own blog!
Your task is to:
1. Log-in to your own blog. The URL should be something like this:
http://kimmie.learnerblogs.org/wp-admin.php
Note: Make sure to put your username after the http:// and then use the rest of the URL as it’s listed above.
2. You need to edit your first post. You must make sure you included each of the components we worked on in class.
3. Answer the question: What do you think about history or social studies?
4. In the title section, write “History”
5. In the post section, answer the question. Make sure to write a full paragraph describing everything you think about history and social studies. You may want to think about the following questions: Is it important? Do we need it? Should we study it?
6.Your post must include a link and a picture.
7. When you’re done typing, check for spelling errors, and then click save.
8.Your Blog must contain categories for Current Events, Social Studies, Homework, and Block B Blogs. Also you must have a Blogroll with links to each of your classmate’s blogs.
