Friday 31 August

Begin by making a response to someone's blog on books vs movies.

Today's blog post
Last night Andrew Johns faced the media and admitted that he had used ecstasy regularly over the past 10 years. This week Channel 7 ran a story about footballers and their issues with drugs based on stolen medical records. Recreational drugs are obviously as wide spread amongst sporting clubs as they are the general community.

How do you feel about elite sports people using recreational drugs?
Is it ever acceptable? Why/why not?
Should elite sports people be drug tested for recreational drugs?
Should there be particular penalties for elite sports people using recreational drugs, and if so, what would be appropriate?

Be nice to the relief teacher and have a good weekend. Don't forget to be nice to your dad on Sunday!

Friday 17th August

Task 1 for today is to comment on someone's blog from last week.

Task 2 is to write a post for your blog.
The topic for your post today is book vs movie.
I want you to discuss your opinion as to whether books are better than the movie they are based on or visa versa. You need to respond with some examples from your own experience to back up your arguement. You should aim for 2-3 properly structured paragraphs.

Friday 10 August

Today you need to start by writing a comment on someone's blog from week 1. Remember to make this an authentic comment discussing something that they have written. Find a blog that inspires you to comment.

For today's task I would like you to write a post that is much more like a normal blog post where you are writing about something that interests you. You will need to choose something to write about and then put forward your own thoughts on the topic.

I would like you to write 2 or 3 paragraphs of reasonable length.

You may choose any topic but some ideas are:
The Chinese limiting cars by one third for the 2008 Olympics.
Akermanis' comments in the newpapers this week.
The forty hour fammine.
The Murray River.
Global Warming.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
