Remember the Success Criteria for Blogging.

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.
