Blog+Requirements

= Blogging Requirements:  =

• For each assignment, you must have at least four blogs: a research blog, a book report, a response to the forum's current topic of discussion and a non-researched blog of a topic of your choosing, one for each different day. Please date them.

• Each blog should be on a different topic. You cannot blog on a topic that someone has written about previously. For example, if someone has blogged about hockey, you cannot write about hockey. However, you can write about another sport of interest if it has not been taken, such as basketball. Or if someone has written about pizza, you cannot blog about pizza but you might blog about fast food restaurants. Check the Blog Topics page to see if your topic has been taken.

• The researched blog must be on Canadian topics that you have researched. Researched blogs should have at least 5 interesting facts. Please remember to cite your reference, APA style for your research.

• You will also be required to respond to a forum topic. You will not be marked on this response, but if you do not write any response, 10% for each missed response will be deducted from your overall mark. __Remember to write your name__ and date your response.

• For the book report, you need to write __at least__ two paragraphs. Your first paragraph should summarize briefly what the book is about. Your second paragraph should be a critique of the book — why you enjoyed it or what you didn't like about it. This is the only one of the four blogs that you will be marked on language and critical thinking.
