Creating a blog
We are going to create a blog. It will have two class purposes:
1.
It will contain your responses for the Reading
Achievement Standard we are doing (AS90854
- Form personal response to
independently read texts, supported by evidence (1.10A))
2.
It will contain some expressive writing you will
be asked to do for your homework.
You are welcome to add extra pieces of writing – social commentary,
humour, creative writing (anything really).
You are also welcome to comment on other people’s
writing. However, any smarty pants
putdowns will be chased up by Mr Thorp.
Just remember two things:
·
It’s public – no-one outside of our class will
probably look at it, but they might. No
obscene language, etc, etc.
·
Mr Thorp will read everything!!
How to get started

If you don’t just click, CREATE A BLOG and then
sign up for a google account – all you need is an accessible email address.

When you get to this bit,
