Now that you have chosen an expert to investigate, it’s time to get started. Answer the following questions during the course of your investigation.

1. Where did you discover your expert?

2. What is your experts name?

3. What distinguishes your expert from other experts on your topic?

4. When did your expert first become interested in your topic?

5. Why did your expert first become interested in your topic?

6. How did your expert become an expert?

7. Describe a process that your expert uses to gain more information on your topic.

8. Has your experts published any published any books on your topic or appeared in any other media presentations on your topic?

9. How has your expert influenced your understanding of your topic?

When you have answered these questions, write a blog entry based on your answers. You can add other information, and be sure to include any thoughts or feelings you have that relate to each question. So, for example, if you answered question #6 with something like, “Delia Solquis attended school for eighteen years to become an expert in photography!”, in your blog entry you should include your answer to question #6 and then add your own thoughts on it, such as, “I already feel like I’ve been in school for ever, and I’ve only been here for six years. No wonder Delia’s blog sounds so smart.”

When you are finished writing your blog entry, use your self editing checklist and publish.
