Lots To Do This Week

You have four tasks this week:

1. Make sure you are completely caught up on all of your blog posts this week. Double-check and then triple-check. I will be looking at all of the blogs again this week.

2. You need to create a new post that outlines what you are going to be doing for your "genius hour" project (using your proposal form would be a good start). Don't forget to include videos and pictures if it helps to explain what you will be doing. Make sure you erase the "highlighting" marks on your proposal before you start copying and pasting.

3. In a separate post,  you need to post the "headline" picture we have been working on with a small write-up.

4. In a separate post, you need to write a motivational post. Sometimes, people need a little encouragement to get things done. Big things start from little things, and motivational posts can be just what the doctor ordered. Your job is to find two (don't forget to give credit where credit is due) motivational pictures with quotes (or feel free to create your own) that you find inspirational and then write a post reflecting on the meaning of the quotes. Go deep here.

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students.  Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

Create A List Of Something

Before you begin this week's blog assignment, please make sure you are completely caught up with all of the previous tasks. Thank-you. 

Lists are popular. Very popular. Your job this week is to create at least 3 different lists. Create a top 10, or better yet a top 20 list. Lists of your favourite movies, books, food, influential people, or any other topic can easily generate buzz. Let's create some buzz...just keep it appropriate for school.

Don't forget to include a picture(s) in your post and to give credit where credit is due on everything you have used. 

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students.  Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!
