YO, yo, yo...What up? Chillin'? Cool. Good vacation? Great!
Here it is.
Class magazine idea will be next project. (Props to Venetia)
So many of you had great ideas so the best way to include them all will be to follow a magazine format.
Every student is responsible for producing one full page (8 1/2" by 11") for inclusion in the class magazine. This will all be for publication.
The theme or topic(s) for your page is up to you. It may include an article, poem, story, creative writing, a review, any artistic expression, photo or design. More than one type of material can be included on a page. (Ex. A picture can accompany a story, a poem can be included related to a theme) Use your experience as a blogger to help you come up with ideas.
Write your blog today and brainstorm ideas for your page.
