Junior Blogs: day 10

They have decided to make a movie out of your life (or sit-com!). 

In a post (of 100 words min) tell your readers who and why should be cast in the roles of you, your friends, etc. (include photos in your post!). You can pick any point in your life.

What kind of musical acts would be featured on the sound track- why? (include a theme song video).

So in this post you will have 1. Writing, 2. photos, and a 3. video.

(This will probably be one of your longer posts)

Junior Blog Day 9: changes

1. The Last Year:
School's almost out, so I want you to think: what would you have done differently, if you could? Consider things that have happened to you and choose something that you would change. What was the "old" result? What would the new result have been?

If there is nothing you would change, then why wouldn't you? Are things that good now? (If so, cool, but write about it just the same).
(100 words min)

2. Continue reading and commenting on others' blogs

Junior Blogs day 6

Over the weekend there was a huge Lottery win of over $600 million dollars. Most people dream of what their lives would be like with that kind of money, but is it all fame and fortune?


Read the following article on "The Lottery Curse" and write a response to it, including thoughts, or any new information you read. What do you think about the horror stories (for further reading!); what would you do to avoid these pitfalls?

For your response you will also include a quote, using the " button on your NEW POST screen.

Blogs day 4

FIRST: Fill out the following survey: 
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Diamondstudents
my number is 103

If you could be on any television program what would it be? Think of terms of plot, characters, reality vs scripted, stars. Some people might want to be on Survivor or Real World, while others might enjoy Duck Dynasty, Mythbusters, Ghost Hunters or Deadliest Catch. You could even imagine yourself as an un-yet named character on Grimm or Once Upon a Time. Or maybe you could just have a role on a show like CSI or Big Bang Theory.

1. Name the show and or character
2. 100 words min
