Shout Outs: Peppermint Candy, Fantasy World, Sua's Blog, Dreamy Birdy, and a music review of Pink!

I'm seeing a lot of impressive blogs and it's hard to keep up with everything, but I'm trying!  I'd love to give every student a Shout Out!, but for now I'll just give out a few.  If you think you deserve a Shout Out!, leave a comment and tell me why you are awesome.

First of all, a Shout Out! to the Peppermint Blog of Lim Joo Young in Class 26 and Emily in Class 24.  They've been writing regularly and paying close attention to format.  As we all know, formatting is important.  Is everything straight? Does it look good? Is it the right size?  They've spent a lot of time making things look nice, and so should everybody.  If it's easy to read and eye catching, your work will get more attention and fulfill its purpose more effectively.

I'd also like to give a Shout Out! to Sarah in Class 24 for being one of the first students to upload her History Presentation.  Like I said before, try to include your work from other classes on your blog.  The more writing and content the better!  You might even be able to use your blog during your presentation to show pictures or important points.

A big Shout Out! to Sua and her blog! Coincidentally,  Sua of Class 22 has been maintaining a blog at Blogspot for over two years.  That's a long time! I hope most of you follow her example and continue blogging after GLPS.  Stay in touch and keep writing.



Dong Bin in Class 24 has been having a lot of fun with Gadgets.  Too much fun?  Maybe.  But what I do like is his "poll" on "Where would you like to go?"  I said Australia.  Polls are fun, so I encourage you to make one for your blog asking interesting questions.  Maybe you can ask one's related to GLPS.  Have fun and add a few gadgets.  But ask yourself if it's necessary, and if it looks good.  Feeding the fish is fine, but video games are not.  Some "gadgets" are merely advertising and will make your blog look like a messy bedroom.  Think of your blog as a store where you are selling your writing.  Will customers want to buy what you have to sell if they can't find it?

One last Shout Out! for today to Ann of Class 25 for her music review of Pink!  I hope all of you have had a chance to share some thoughts on a favorite book, film, or piece of music by now.  Ann researched and presented a lot of interesting facts about Pink, and even a few pictures. Nice!

If you think you or your friends have done something good, nominate yourself or someone else for a Shout Out! Keep up the good work!
