8th Grade Blog

Due Tomorrow

I have been so impressed with the quality of PSA videos you all have created.  These will be a powerful centerpiece to your blog posts.  Below you will see links to some exemplars from our class.

Please have your blogs ready to share Thursday morning when we meet in our Zoom class.  Post the url here by 9:30 so that we all can easily access.  To make sure your blog is effective please use the following checklist:
a. Is the blog posted on your Weebly on an actual blog page so that people can comment?
b. Have you posted your PSA video?
c. Have you written a simple argumentative essay that states your claim, supports it thoroughly, addresses the counterclaim and calls people to action?
d. Have you asked people to engage with your blog in some way? (comment, survey, etc.)
e. Are there at least 4 elements? (videos, writing, pictures, links to support websites, etc.)
f. Have you had a family member or classmate read/view it and give you feedback?
