Final Grading Period English 12 Blog Challenge

Welcome to the student take over of the Mrs. Scales’ Room blog. Begining March 4th the seniors at Wapahani High School will take over this blog and participate in the 2018 Student Blogging Challenge. Each of the three Eng. 12 periods, 1, 4, and 6 will do a weekly challenge post for the following 10 weeks. Each class period will complete this series of 10 weekly tasks all designed to improve blogging and commenting skills while connecting students with a global audience.

Your first task will be to create a class logo or avatar that you wish to use to represent your class period each week on the blog. You can do this as a whole group, or you can select someone from your class period who will individually (or even as a small group) be responsible for this first task. The grades for each week will be on collaborative grade for everyone in the class and with ten weeks of activities to accomplish everyone in the class should be actively involved in one or more of the assignments.

Students, remember the communication toolbox used earlier in the year for our Out of Eden Walk participation. Be creative and informative. Think about the possible global audience you will be posting for and have fun.

Readers, remember anything after the soon to be revealed class period logos will be coming from that group of seniors and no longer be direct information from Mrs. Scales herself. Let the challenge begin.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
