Hi BlogShoppers!
Congrats on all of your awesome videos! I will be uploading them soon and you will be able to send the links to all your family and friends who might be curious about “how-to” create a blog! Thanks for all of your hard work.

As we prepare to end this school year, you should reflect on what you’ve learned and what you’ve created. Please look over your blogs and choose three of your favorite posts. Then leave a comment to this post stating your three favorite posts and its reasons.
The tasks are:
1. Leave a comment stating your three favorite posts.
2. Post the link to your favorite posts, after the post title.
3. Make the link “click-able” by using HTML code.

Example: I want to make this link click-able: http://auwstudentblogs.wordpress.com/.
I would “code” it like this: (a href=”http://auwstudentblogs.wordpress.com/”)http://auwstudentblogs.wordpress.com/(/a)
The only difference is that when you actually do the code, you must replace these brackets “()” with these brackets “<>".

4. State a reason why it is one of your favorite posts. Your explanation should be at least 2 sentences.
5. Your comment should look like this:

Hi! These are my three favorite posts:
1. Featuring the Students!
I like this post because it showcased my students and how awesome they are! They are also very photogenic.
2. Etc.
3. Etc.

(EXTRA TIP: The html code for the above link looks like this:
(a href=”http://auwstudentblogs.wordpress.com/2009/04/16/featuring-the-students/”)Featuring the Students!(/a)
But replace these brackets “()” with these brackets “<>"



In addition, as you are working, please think about the following questions:
- What do you enjoy about blogging?
- What have you done through blogging that you didn’t think you could do before?
- Are blogs and blogging important in today’s culture? Explain why or why not.
- Think of three adjectives/phrases to describe blogging. Be creative!

Think about these questions because I will conduct a brief interview with you about this for a short video about BlogShop! Yipee!
