The post I decided to use as my best blog post was
my theme and summary post on Anna and the French Kiss. I chose this post
because first I received full credit and was the featured blogger Friday with
it. In the rubric it said to first make a thematic statement about my book. So
when making this post the first thing I did was wrote a thematic statement
stating, "Sometimes something that is hard in the beginning can pay
off in the end." This was a good thematic statement because it was a
lesson or a message that fit very well to this book and it wasn't telling the
reader to do something, it wasn't being bossy. The second thing the rubric told
us to do was find quotes to support my theme and then support it with evidence.
So in my post I would provide a quote and then back it up with evidence that
would support the quote. One example is when I used this quote, "“French name, English accent, American school. Anna
confused.” With this support, "This quote represents my theme because it
shows that in the beginning she was really confused when she got to France. She
thought that it was going to be a bad experience because she was confused in
the beginning so how could it get any better." This was a good example of
using a quote and support because this shows us exactly why the theme was
perfect for this book. I did this three times for extra support. Lastly the
rubric told us to write a summary for our book. I wrote a very good summary
that explained what has happen, who the important characters were, and all the
important details. This is why I chos4e this blog post for my best post.
One thing I struggled with
when doing the blog was hitting all the requirements when doing the post. A way
that I learned how to overcome this was by numbering. First I would get on
edline and look at Mrs. Cohen's learning to understand the blogger rubric. Next
I would read each one. After that I would go through one by one and compare
with rubric so that I made sure I had all the sections. I would number along
the way so that I could miss anything. One strength I had while doing was
blogger was providing good amounts of evidence. This was a strength of mine
because I would know the perfect amount of quotes and how long they should be
to prove the point, but not go over kill. As shown in the quote and explanation
in the paragraph above.
