1) Check out your new blogs
2) Think about how the blog will look on different devices*
3) Write good blog descriptions**
4) Make edits to posts already written before next week
5) Prepare for presenting the blog post next week; you should try to present without only reading
6) Do some more HTML practice
7) If time, we may do a writing exercise about irrelevant sentences and some more grammar practice.
* Nowadays, people look at websites on PCs, tablets and smart phones. It should be viewable by all of those, so you need to check how it looks on various devices. However, the home PC will be our default view, so please be sure it looks the way you want it to on a PC. I will be evaluating your sites from my office PC, so please consider the PC view!
** It's good to have a brief introduction to your blog in the heading of your blog. That's at the top, just below the title. To type this, you go to Settings, then Description. Click Edit. This description of your blog will always appear at the top, so if someone starts to view your blog in the future, they don't have to go to your first post to find out about you and your blog theme. Everyone should make a blog description here!
Re. presentations next week:
When you present your blog posts next week; don’t just read them; look at the class and try to talk like you're talking to your friends. Below are some of the things you will mention when you present:
1) titles - blog title and post title
2) description
3) URL
4) summary of Blog Post #1
If you want to, you can comment on the background or template
