One student, will be responsible for writing a blog each day which includes:
Title
- Student's Assigned Blogger # (ex. Blogger #2)
- Student's full name
- Class period,
- Date
MOST IMPORTANT:
- The Aim
- Notes for the day, incorporating class discussions
- Attempts to incorporate multimedia (ex. images, video, links, etc...) to aid classmates and those who read the blog (You should try to incorporate original materials whenever possible).
- Student reflection of the day's lesson: (One of the most important components of the blog) should address the following questions:
- What did I learn?
- Why did I learn it?
- How will I use what I learned?
**Blog Masters MUST make sure the LABEL of the student blog is posted using the appropriate label:
- Freshman Lit 2022 OR
- Sophomores 2022
- Students are responsible for keeping track of when it is his/her time to blog, via the blogger sheet.
- Students are to comment and respond to one another, including asking questions or asking for clarification.
- Blogs will be published on the world wide web, so we must practice digital citizenship and remember that our audience is GLOBAL, so our tone is always FORMAL.

NOTE: You should not report about the pandemic. The last component should be the Reflection!

Sample of Excellent Blogs (They had different requirements)
What does your blog grade mean?
- MASTERY (MAX): Great work, you nailed it! You covered an amazing multimedia summary of the day's lesson (Multimedia is a form of communication that combines different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, or video into a single interactive presentation, in contrast to traditional mass media which featured little to no interaction from users, such as printed material or audio recordings) of what happened in class using a clear, easy-to-read format. Most importantly, you absolutely included fantastic reflection which clearly draws connections to what you learned with real-life applications.
- APPROACHING (APP): Your summary got the general gist of what happened in class, but could definitely use some elaboration and perhaps provided some multimedia, OR your formatting is not aesthetic (ex. meaning it's running off the page) OR your reflection may be basic (such as just reflecting on how it can be applied in your schooling instead of the real world).
- DEVELOPING (DEV): You probably didn’t include a reflective aspect at all let alone multimedia or limited multimedia was included, or your summary was so minimal it was hard to have any idea what happened in class.
- NOT YET (NY): Incredibly basic/incomplete and/or the tone was rude, offensive, or inappropriate for a school, public blog.
- M: No blog written on your assignment day.
Can I fix my blog grade?
- Blogs will receive a grade within approximately 7 days of publication based on the guidelines above.
- Blogs may be revised, edited, and updated if the student would like an opportunity to improve his/her grade, however, they MUST do so within 7 days of receiving their blog grade.
- All revised blogs must be resubmitted to the original Blog Master who posted the blog, so they can swap the revision for the previously-published blog.
- IF the student does opt for a revision, he/she MUST EMAIL ME, via by responding to the original PupilPath message that was sent, coupled with a direct link to the NEWLY UPDATED ORIGINAL published blog (after the Blog master has published the revision) to inform and notify me to check the blog again.
