Final Quarter 1 Blog!! (Blog #9)
Wow, to think it is already the end of the first quarter is crazy. I guess the saying holds true when talking about our blogs, time really does fly by when your having fun.
Ok, now for your assignment. This last week of Quarter 1, I am going to open it up for debate on whatever topic you want to blog about. Pick a WORLD HISTORY related topic and state your opinion/thoughts on that topic. Your topic could be tied to anything that is happening in the world today and relate it back to what took place in history. Then look around at your classmates blogs and comment/reply to their post. Agree/disagree, let them know your opinion/thoughts on their topic. Make sure you pick out 2 of your classmates and respond to their post. (You will get 1 point for your post, and 1 each for your responses to your classmates.) Good luck!
