Your Blog Guide

Why not let your students create a character and let them write a diary about their life.  The character could be present, future or past.

This opens up so many opportunites for History students to create a blog for ficticious World War One soldier where they can write down what the soldiers experiences may have been like, what he would have been feeling by writing this information in the form of a diary using a blog.

English students can create a character and write a blog that includes a profile and diary entries for them.  Want to include Drama element get the students to create a video or some audio and stick that on the blog to.

Been on a school trip get the class to add their experiences of the trip to a trip or class blog.  This allows students some reflection about an experience and a record of what students felt.  You could even make it complete and use photos of the day.

The possibilities are endless.  For many students the idea that anybody in the world can look at their blog motivates them.  It can also be a good way to promote individual students work by having links from the school website.
