We are almost halfway through the camp, and for the last two weeks of GLPS you are going to be doing a lot more writing now that you've made your blog and know how to use it.
As I've explained before, there will be two blogs chosen as the best from each class, and those students will be eligible for the GLPS Scholarships. So that means you should be using your blog as much as possible, and making it look as good as possible.
Here is a checklist of things you should try and achieve with your blog:
1-Daily posts about what's going on at GLPS (kind of like your English Diary), complete with
pictures taken from the GLPS website (or your own camera if you have one).
2-The Chain Writing Essay (with as few errors as possible) complete with a picture that matches the content.
3-A movie, music, or book review (or even one of each!) complete with video or pictures. At least 200-300 words in length.
4-A discussion and investigation concerning a "viral video," where you post the video and find out some background information. Some of you have posted videos (many) but haven't written about them. Remember - a blog is for WRITING. This should be 200-300 words at least.
5-An S.A.T. style reflective essay written about the short film "Spring." You should have the video accompanying your essay so people can know what you are writing about. Here's a good example!
6-Your History presentations with pictures.
7-Have left at least 10 comments on 10 other students blogs (and not just "Hello!")
8-Diamante Poems with pictures.
IF you are done with all of that, why not keep writing? Here are some ideas:
1-An "argumentative essay" based on what you are discussing in Debate Class.
2-A short story! Try out one of the "Wacky Web Tales" in my links above.
3-Letter to your parents or a friend.
4-A poem about whatever you want to write about.
5-A poll about GLPS, with your opinion on something.6-Anything you want! Your blog is yours and you should have fun with it.
