Class Writing JournalConsider using a blog as a tool for housing writing

prompts. Once completed, you might share student

responses or, if you use a site like Class

Blogmeister, students might post their own responses

online.

Math Problem AnalysisStudents could share their solutions to math problems or

any problem on a class blog. Each student could describe

his or her process for solving a particular problem. In this

way, using a blog requires students to think critically

about how they describe the process since they will

publish their thoughts for others to see.

Literature StudyMake student conversations and thoughts about a story

visible by publishing them. Consider how students can

share their insights about discussion questions, character

analysis, and plot analysis by publishing them on the

class literature blog.

Global Current EventHighlight a current global event through text, video, or a

link to a Web-based resource. In addition to providing a

central location where students may view the event

online, students could respond to the event by

commenting on the blog entry or posting. Over time, you'll

have a nice archive of global events.

Topical StudyCreate a space for exploring a particular topic. For

instance, if your class is studying a country throughout

the year, use the blog as a space for housing all that

students are learning about the country.

Vocabulary ExplorationA blog can serve as a place to house examples of

vocabulary in English or in another language. The blog

can allow students the vehicle for sharing examples of the

word or expression used in context.
