Now that you have your own blog set up, your homework for the weekend is to check the blogs out of other people and fully design your own space.
Check out some of these blogs:
-Nata Village in Africa
-Neil Gaiman – author
- Kids from Australia
- Kids from Brazil
- Kids from Oklahoma (with links to other blogging classrooms)
- Canadian soldier’s blog from Afghanistan
Find a few interesting posts to read. Why are they interesting? What makes them good? Look at the writing style, how they tell their story. Think about your own writing. How well do you write? How can you improve your writing?
Come in Monday morning ready to talk about this.

Hi Mr. Fisher
I hope you have a lot of fun with your class this year with the blogs. wiki’s and any other stuff you do with the class. I see that you’ve got all thier blogs set up and I hope they get a lot of comments like we did last year in your class.I’ll start commenting on them when I get a chance because high school has a lot of homework compared to last year in your class.
Nikita your student from last year. Bye

My students will be posting their first blogs this week. I hope that we will be able to do some commenting back & forth. I have borrowed your commenting entry, as I have seen other classrooms have done the same.
Our URL will be:

We’re a group of grade 7 studenets from the American school in Cartagena, Colombia. We’ve been blogging since early August and are very excited about joining the growing group of international bloggers.
You can come see us at Mr. Hide’s Class
