Directions for Blog Post 1

By now, you have all created your blogs, but there is not much on them. Today, you will begin to add content with your 'Girl' poems. Remember, a blog is there to help educate other people who are interested in what you have to say - so make it interesting both with content and with visuals and links: it all works together.

1. Since our focus for this marking period is about studying diverse viewpoints and understanding the rules that other people live with, you should introduce your readers to the concept of the poem you have written and what it means on a grand scale. Even if you wrote it comically, the purpose is still the same - with a serious tone. This introduction should be an interesting paragraph to read with opinion.
2. Your poem will come next - in its full form.
3. Because this is a blog, there needs to be more than just the writing.

• Inside this first post, incorporate at least 2 links to other blogs that deal with diversity or rules to live by (you can use some of the gender blogs we saw yesterday).
• Incorporate a picture into your post that relates to your content.
• Incorporate an RSS feed as a Gadget relating to your content.
• Incorporate a link list (gadget) linking to blogs from at least 3 other students in class.
