Dear Explorers,
This week at the Portal we were exposed to podcast and began creating our own podcast with Dr. Seuss readings.
Your journal entry this week is to share your experiences with creating the podcast. Include in your entry the book you read and why you chose it as your reading for the podcast.
Your entry should have at least three sentences about the podcast experience and four sentences about your book and why you chose that book.
Happy Blogging,
Mrs. Miller

Dear Explorers,
As we embark on this first journal entry to our fellow explorers I encourage you to share a day in your life. Please reflect on the examples I have given you in class from this weeks readings from the Dear America series.
Your directions are to write a journal entry in paragraph format, which will include a topic sentence, five details and a concluding sentence. Your blog will not be approved if you do not follow the correct format.
