Student Blogging Challenge: Week 3


 

Step One: Student Blogging Challenge, Week 3, Activity #9

I visited the Super Six Sevens class from Adelaide, Australia, and this is what they’re doing this week as part of the Student Blogging Challenge. Thank you, Super Six Sevens and their teacher, Miss Andrews, for writing up the directions.

After you’ve left your quality comment, it’s time to complete this week’s blogging challenge, Activity #9:

This is a creative commenting game, and in order to work, we need to follow some basic rules:

  • Start with the picture shown below.
  • The first commenter writes a sentence about the next thing that would be seen if the image was ‘zoomed out’.
  • The next commenter includes the first sentence (written by the first commenter) and then writes another sentence describing the next item that would be seen if further ‘zoomed out’.
  • Use at least one of this week’s vocabulary wordsdedicate, utter, glare, compose--in your sentence. Continue commenting until the story can’t go any further.
  • Please read through the previous comments before posting, so that the story flows well. Check out the comments section on Abbey’s blog to see how it works.
  • Enjoy! We would love it if our visitors joined in with this game. :-)

Step Two – Problem & Solution Paragraph (draft)

Today, you’re an author using the Problem & Solution organization pattern (AKA text structure). Brainstorm your problem and design a solution. Check out my example.  To begin writing, click here. (You’ll need to be signed into your LCPS Google account. Click on FILE and then MAKE A COPY. Rename your copy with your first name and last initial.

 

If you finish up early, write a post on your blog, comment on students’ blogs in Mrs. Smith’s, Mrs. Haseltine’s, Mrs. O’Brien’s, or Mrs. Devlin’s classes, or reply to one of the comments left in response to our country questions.

  1. Mr. Lep. R. Chaun was planning mischievously about how he would steal the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, when he suddenly noticed the blackness surrounding him. Before he could think, he was also shrunk, and soon found himself standing stiffly on frosted grass, in the middle of nowhere.
