Why We Blog – Blog Assignment- theme and ideas

by folklorist



A) Investigate 3 other blogs

Create a criteria list of what you are looking for and check and respond to each blog.

Some examples of criteria would be:

What do I look for in a blog?

1. Clear headings

2. Clean links

3. Does the blog author back his or hers opinion with facts or reference

Other criteria: How does the font colour, size, and style work.

Are the photos and images clean and clear? etc….

B)  Jot down several theme ideas for your own blog

-Remember to take into consideration that you will be communicating with students from Mr. B class.

    My Criteria:

    1- Blog theme is appropriate
    2- Most topics must relate to the theme of your blog (Ex.- If you do a movie theme blog, don’t have a topic about giant earthworms)
    3- Use appropriate language
    4- Never use your blog for bullying or talking about someone behind their back
    5- Make shure tat their r no speling or gramacal mis-takes (This is just an example :) )
    6- Everthing that I missed from Hannah’s or Dale’s crtieria

    Nice job on your criteria by the way.
    And Pickle, I think you did it right.

    Fairly new blog, this one had very clean links.
    Spelling or grammatical errors were unapperant
    Appropiate language was used.
    Layout of blog was easy to understand.
    Heading were smaller but apparent.
    Opinions were shown and topic generation had not started.
    BLog theme was very approipate.

    I wanted to discover how the layout of blogs effects how people react to it. Some blogs I saw looked very unclean and completely skipped over them. I also wanted to discover how people would talk about there pets on the Internet. It soon became apparent that topic generation is quite common and is fun to read.
