Week 1A - Celebrity Crushes

Today begins our second batch of blogs. We're starting all the way over; this is a brand new summative assessment, starting today. There will be eight more entries (I hope) and 20 more comments assigned over the course of the next two months. Each entry still needs to be 100 words.

Other than that, you guys know the drill by now. Onto this week's prompt:

Make a list of three of your celebrity crushes and explain to me what makes them so wonderful in your eyes. Do you think you could ever actually be in a relationship with this person, or is it just the kind of thing where you think they’re attractive? Pictures are optional, but obviously preferable.

Week 8 - 3 Wishes

Before we get to this week's post, this first batch of blogs is due SUNDAY at noon. I have decided that I am going to put them in the informative writing content strand, and that I am NOT going to grade them for grammar and mechanics. Here's what I'm looking for in terms of the rubric:

4 - The blogs are exceptional in their creativity, narrative voice, and use of technology.
3 - The blogs are all completed, and the prompts all have been answered in a way that is interesting and descriptive.
2 - The blogs are all or mostly completed, but they either are too short or do not respond to the prompt in a way that is interesting or descriptive.
1 - The majority of the blogs have not been completed.

Also important to remember is that I can't grade your blogs if I don't have your URL. If it says I'm missing it on the right-hand side of this page, you need to get it to me ASAP today!

Onto the prompt:

If you had three wishes, what would you wish for? Aladdin rules apply; you can't wish for more wishes, you can't wish anyone dead, you can't wish to be a god, and you can't make anyone all in love with you. Those stipulations aside, what are you wishing for?
