Blogging for change (February 18-22)
So, this week, I’d like you to post two blog entries. One will be a “checkin” on the British authors project–tell me what’s going well, what your struggles are, questions you have, ways we all can help you, etc.
For the second blog entry, I’d like you to check out the Social Action wall in the classroom, as well as the website www.dosomething.org. (Click on “Projects.”) I’d like you to choose at least 2 “causes” that interest you–be as specific as you can. (For example, one cause might be raising young people’s awareness of the importance of voting.) For each cause, tell why it interests you and what kinds of things you’d like to do to help your cause. Aim for around a paragraph for each cause. These two entries are due Friday.
Then, check out each other’s blogs (after you’ve added them to your blogroll), and provide helpful, encouraging comments on at least 5 other people’s ideas. This should be completed by Tuesday.
