Let's get our ideas and thinking out 
for the world to read. 
We need to remember to capture and keep our audience’s attention.
Success Criteria:
1.  Create an engaging introduction to hook the reader. 
2.  Organize your ideas and make them flow using varying sentence lengths and paragraphs.
 (Paragraphs are a minimum of 3 sentences and our blogs will have 3 paragraphs minimum)
3.  I can support my ideas with details, examples, thoughts and feelings.
4.  Use effective word choice for my audience:
- 
start with a strong introduction 
- 
ask a question 
- 
use strong descriptive words 
- 
write a quotation  
- 
use strong verbs  e.g. said==> mumbled  or  went==> travelled 
- 
use adjectives   eg. the gooey, delicious brownies 
- 
use figurative language (or elements of style)  eg.  metaphor, simile, alliteration 
5.  I can make my writing readable by checking reader fluency by reading my blog out loud before posting it. 
6. Check for proper spelling and grammar and punctuation.
7.  Including a picture, quote, etc. to make it more visually interesting.
