"My Blog Post of the Week!" Award

So that we are practicing reading critically we are each going to find a blog post that we choose as our "Blog Post of the Week!" As you read others' posts, cut and paste the URL of any post you think is well written onto an Appleworks page that you save as:


“My Blog post of the week of 2-20-09”

During our class discussion about what "well written" means, you said: Uses proper English and punctuation, good spelling (at least), explains well and describes well, shows doesn't tell (as much as possible).


Then on Friday we will each revisit those posts to select our post of the week. Once selected we will post a comment on that person's post explaining to them that this is your winner and ALL the reasons why.

Mr.Crosby,

My teacher always tells my class to have wel written blog posts, comments and in stories. I think it is important because if you get in the habbit earlier the better you will do in writing in higher grades. Good Job!

Write Back,
Colin

Dear Mr. Crosby and his students,

We'd love to talk with you about the meaning of "well-written"!

We are 22 debut writers looking for classrooms that want to work with authors. Our novels are both middle grade and young adult and cover a broad range of genres. To learn more about us and our books, go to www.classof2k9.com.

Connecting with us could happen in lots of different ways, including an exchange of letters, a question and answer session on our blog (or on yours), a chat room or Skype visit, or when proximity allows, an in-person meet and greet in your classroom (which could also involve more classrooms, an entire grade, or a middle school or high school assembly). The best part about these visits is that they are free! And, it sounds like you are very familiar with the technology to make this all happen!

In addition to visits, we are also encouraging schools to join our nationwide book drive for literacy. On our site, we have tips on how to run your own book drive for a needy school or even for your own! It's a great way for students to share their love of reading and make a difference. Check it out here: http://classof2k9.com/?q=node/58

We also hope you'll enter our contests to win books for your home or professional library. Watch our blog for details: http://community.livejournal.com/classof2k9

We know that this time of the school year is busy and anticipate that the fall might be more appealing. We'd love to work with you and your students and look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you for your consideration,

Susan Fine, author of INITIATION (Flux, May 2009)
Beverly Patt, author of HAVEN (Blooming Tree, Fall 2009)
