Grade 6

Your task this week is to use Microsoft Word and Google to begin your planning for your personal blog. You will be searching for information using Boolean search methods (ie Canada AND natural resources, Lobsters OR fishing).

You must list the following items in Word:

1. Blog name

2. Blog address (The blogspot address that you want may or may not be available to you when you publish your blog, so it is a good idea to think of several different addresses that you would like)

3. Blog description (Think of the 5Ws : 1. What is it about? 2. Who is it for? 3. When was the blog made? 4. Why did you make this blog? 5. Where are you or your blog readers located?)

4. Elements of your blog (What will be on your blog? Will you have a lot of text? A lot of pictures? Will you allow comments? What colours will you use?)

This information will be used in the publishing of your blog. Think about it carefully! Once your blog goes online, it is there for the entire world to see, so make good choices about what you want to publish!
