At this point, each of you has chosen a topic of interest to read about. You filled out a project planning sheet which was supposed to help you in your quest. I'm hoping that the following directions will help you as you begin to read and write about your topic.
l. Write a paragraph which will introduce your readers to your topic. Tell us why you chose your topic and what you expect to learn as you read. Include any questions you may have or questions that other people may ask you.
2. Tell us where you looked for your information. What data bases did you use? (InfoTrack, Gale, World Book Online, etc.) What article(s) did you read?
3. Summarize the article(s) you read. Give us the "gist" we've been practicing in class. Add a quote (a short passage) and give credit to your source.
4. End with a final paragraph about your opinion. How was your opinion influenced by your reading? What would you like us to know about your final thoughts?
5. Add a catchy headline.
6. Upload a picture to illustrate your topic.
7. Hyperlink us to your source, if you are able!
So...this is really easy. Basically you are creating a three paragraph (or so) blog post. Paragraph one is your "so what," about why you chose your search. Paragraph two is your summary of your reading. Paragraph three is your opinion - your ending. Then voila. . .you are finished! The rest is the fun part. . .answering the comments to your post!
