A blog isn’t about being a blog, rather it is a means for communicating ideas, much as a magazine does. A blog “post”, or article, may be:
- Responding to and commenting on curriculum topics as we study them
- Creating written projects/ media projects and commenting on each other’s work
- Reflecting on coursework and individual learning
- Reviewing and sharing study strategies before tests and quizzes
- Practicing taking varied points of view on a topic
- Discussing current events
- Making classroom suggestions
- Creating FAQ pages on curriculum topics
That being said, here are some practical suggestions:
Headings are useful. Things like:
- Objective
- Introduction
- Experimental Results
- Conclusion and Analysis
- Don’t number things that don’t need to be numbered. Write the procedure as a paragraph. List materials with bullets. Answer questions as stand-alone text.
Use pictures. Cite them. Remember that they must be uploaded – do not copy and paste.
Use white space. One long paragraph in Times New Roman can tire the eyes. Make logical breaks.
