Make An Ultimate Resource Post

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

For this week's post, you need to pick a "niche" (having specific appeal to you) of yours and create a list of the most useful resources/articles/pictures you can find on the internet. This post will be the ultimate resource for whatever it is you choose. For example, if you choose "fishing", make sure you have enough information that a person looking to begin fishing could stay on your blog and learn everything there is to know about it.

Don't forget to give credit where credit is due on all articles/pictures etc that you are using. 

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!

Pictures In Time

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

If you could take one picture to send back in time (up to 100-150 years ago), what would you photograph, who would you send it to and why? Or, find an appropriate and significant photo from the past and write about its significance. Why is it important? Why should people know about it? Who took the photo? What story is the photo telling? Etc. Don't forget to give credit where credit is due.

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!
