Student Blogging Challenge Week 7: Free Choice

Phew! You’ve been working hard and now it’s time to catch your breath.

This week you’ll have some space to catch up on old tasks that interest you or write a free choice post.

Week seven of the Student Blogging Challenge allows you to catch up or write a free choice post.

Week Six Recap

Trophy image -- great workThere were many great posts submitted again by classes and students.

You can find them all here (or click on the week six box on the sidebar on Mrs. Morris’s page).

Let’s take a look at just some of the fantastic work we spotted last week:

Reminders

Here are a few important reminders:

  • Some people have put a link to a Google Doc/Form/Slide presentation in their post BUT it can’t be viewed without logging in. This resource shows you how to make your Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms public.
  • Do your posts have images? Images make posts much more shareable and they stand out a lot more on our Flipboard magazine. 
  • Remember in week 3 we discussed that you can’t just use any image you find online in your blog posts? Sadly, I’ve noticed some people are still doing this. You might want to re-read the information in the week 3 post and go back and edit some of your old posts that include images that are not free to use.

Onto the tasks…

Week Seven Tasks

Task 1: Catch Up

You might not have had the chance to complete a task for week 1-6. Or you might have enjoyed one of the topics so much, you’d like to complete an additional task. Go for it.

Here are the links (you’ll also find them on the sidebar of the challenge blog).

Remember, the forms are now closed for the week 1-4 tasks but you can submit your task for weeks 5 or 6. You’ll find the Google Forms at the end of the posts.

Task 2: Free Choice

What’s something that interests you? Write a post about it! Don’t forget about the essentials of a great post.

If you write a free choice post this week, feel free to submit it in the Google Form.

Task 3: Visit

You might have a bit of extra time this week so it could be a good opportunity to visit at least one other blog and leave a quality comment.

Remember to ask a question and check back to see if they replied to you (most platforms have a box to tick so you can get an email when there is a follow-up comment).
