Blogging in English 12..

When we blog we should be given multiple choices. There should be at least 2 options to choose from so that there is something everyone is interested in. A good topic would be to write about your favorite song: why you like it, how you first hear it and your favorite lyrics from it. Everyone likes music but it also gives you alot of options to be creative.

Every once in a while we should be given the opportunity to blog about anything as long as it is appropriate. It will be easier to express ourselves if we get to choose what we write about and it would show a little bit more about who we are and our personalities. We could write about sports, tv, websites, friends or anything that holds our interests.

Our blogs should be a way to tell a little bit about ourselves while writing interesting blogs. The questions and topics should be open ended so there is more room for creativity. It will make us think harder about what to write about.

The blogs should get an overall mark at the end of each term. That way, you have the whole term to improve. The blog should be one project not just a place to put little projects that are each gettting marked. If the blogs are marked at the end it takes away a little bit of the pressure you would get if every single blog you wrote got marked.

I agree with you Jayne, Open ended questions are the easiest way to make sure that everyone has something to write about. There are so many different outlooks on a single topic that are commonly overlooked when we are confined to a certain and specific topic.
