Activity

Now that you are well on your way to becoming an expert on your subject, it’s your job to keep your readers updated.

Activity: Take some time today to read about your subject in one of your books, or via your Google alert feed. Share your information with your readers. To get started, read my example on the following page, then follow the steps below.

First, answer the following questions:
1. What new thing have you learned regarding your topic?
2. Where did you learn it? (if website, include link)
3. What does it make you think of?
4. How does it make you feel?
5. What new questions does it raise?

• Now, open a blog post, title it ‘Update’ and transcribe your answers into your post in complete sentences.
• When you are done writing, use your self-editing checklist and publish.
• If you have time, visit your classmates’ blogs and read their posts.
• If you have any questions about their posts, you can leave them in the comments section.
