Types of Blog Posts

Now that you have set the stage for your blog, it's up to you to decide how you want to continue. I am providing a list of types of blog posts for you, but because each of your blog topics are different and have their own unique tone, you need to choose what type of blog post works best for you each week. Review the list of types of blogs on Google Classroom and peruse some examples online. Then, choose the type of blog post you want to write for this week. In the Types of Blog Posts table, be sure to include the title of your blog and the date you wrote it. By the end of the semester, you will have a plethora of blog posts! In my blog, I chose to write a mix of "types of posts". I went with seasonal and round-up. You can choose to do a "mix-up" post like this as well. Here is the link to my blog:  https://atoasttobreakfast.blogspot.com/ Don't forget to leave a comment with the link to your blog post! Happy blogging!

Your First Blog Post

Now is the time to start your blog! Hopefully you've settled on a topic and a title. If not, take some time do a little research. This first blog post will be your most important blog post. It sets the tone for your whole blog. But remember, you get to choose that tone, the voice you want to be. Your first post should be an introduction to your topic - not yourself. You readers searched and found your blog because they're interested in the topic, not you (Sorry!). Employ the creative nonfiction techniques we discussed in class. Be sure to add some personal experience (scene/s) to your post, but also make sure the reader knows what to expect out of your blog. Your post needs to be at least 300 words. You can go through the websites below to help you start your post. The top two sounded the most helpful, but you can explore the others as well, if you like. You can also browse other blogs to look at example posts. https://pickledplum.com/how-to-write-your-first-blog-po...

Welcome!

Welcome to our class blog! This will mostly be used as a place where you can go to find your classmates blog and find tips on new blog styles or pieces. I want your new blog to be a creative outlet for you. A place where you can feel free to write about something that you're passionate about, something that interests you or something going on in the world. A place where you can allow your voice to be heard by me, your classmates, and people around the world. Your can choose to make your blog page all about one topic (maybe fantasy football, maybe the keto diet) or write about multiple topics that interest you. You will be expected to create a new blog post each "Friday week". Some weeks I will choose the type of blog post, and some weeks you will be free to write as you please. We will read and respond to one another's blogs throughout the semester. My wish for this process is that you are able to learn more about yourself and your classmates, grow your writing ...
