Top 5 Excellent Posts by Student Bloggers


Recently I have had the opportunity to mentor a group of student bloggers in the annual student blogging challenge. The creator and leader of the challenge, Ms. W would like me to post some good examples of posts.

There are many different types of posts. I am going to post four good examples of the first type, which involves lots of writing and nothing else except possibly pictures. I am going to post one good example of the second type. The second type is the format I prefer to use. It has writing, but also has games, videos, and/or many other activities.

 My first example is a post that is on one of my favorite blogs. My two favorite blogs have a fun and creative style of telling a story from a certain character's perspective.  In my opinion this makes it much more enjoyable to read, and helps hold the reader’s attention. Here is the link:

My second example is a post that my other favorite blog posted. It is the same style as the other one.

My third one is a post that was again posted by Christian on one of my two favorite blogs. This post is a different style;  it expresses a complaint. I normally would dislike this post since I happen to be a huge fan of Amazon, but he expresses his opinion in such a smart way that it makes it a wonderful post. Here is the link:

My fourth example of a post is one written again by Isaiah and posted on my other favorite blog. It uses the same style of writing as the other two posts, but unlike them this post is an entirely made up story.  I like how it is only chapter one. Here is the link:


My final post is the activity style.  It makes it easy to learn because of all the activates. It is on a blog called World Star Academy that I think might be drawing some attention off my blog, however this post does give a good flavor of it's style.

Of the styles shown which is your favorite one to read/write.

Fun Ways to Learn About the Vikings

The vikings are probably my favorite topic to study in history. They were in my opinion the fiercest warriors of the middle ages. At the time their weaponry and equipment was state of the art, and their ships were the strongest and fastest in all the seven seas. The best way to learn about these things is to see them used and built. You can do that by watching this video.

To learn about how the vikings attacked watch this funny music video.

The Twilight Zone


The twilight zone is in my opinion the absolute best old TV show. Unlike most TV shows the twilight zone takes place in a completely different setting every episode. From talking dolls, to aliens, the twilight zone has just about every subject imaginable.

Many people like the scary episodes. One fun thing I like about the twilight zone is that you never know how it is going to end!

They always have twilight zone marathons on certain holidays, and there are so many episodes that marathons last a long time!

Although all of the episodes are different they do have some things in common. One thing is that the director, Rod Serling, starts and ends all of them and they all have the same music.

Some of my favorite episodes are: the living doll, a world of his own, a nice place to visit, and a most unusual camera.

 

To fully understand the twilight zone you have to watch the show. It is very hard to describe. If you have seen it what do you like most about it? And what are your favorite episodes. If not does it sound like a good show? Please comment.
