Blog Assignment

1) Think of a topic that covers all of the following categories:
+ Something you care about
+ Something that others may like to find out more about
+ Something that is easy to research
+ Something that is not too specific
+ Something that is not too vague
+ Something that you would not mind writing about once per class meeting for the rest of the term
+ Of course, must be school appropriate

2) With parents/guardians:
-Discuss topic for approval
-Create blog using the Google account your parents created for this class on www.blogger.com
-If necessary, your parents may be required to verify your account by receiving a code by text or voicemail.*  If you are not prompted to enter a verification code, your account was not randomly selected to be screened!
-Discuss whether to write under your real name or pseudonym

3)  Navigate to Blogger.com to create your blog!

4)  In the "Blog Description" section, you must include the following:

"This blog is a class project of a student at Lake Oswego Junior High School. Contact the class teacher at latorrem@loswego.k12.or.us with any concerns"

You may also include any other information that may be helpful in describing what you plan to blog about for visitors to your blog.

*Note: if you have to verify your blog using a phone, you may start your blog in Microsoft Word, and copy your content to your blog after you have verified your account.
