It’s been a while since you’ve made a reflective entry in your blog. So today you are to spend some time composing some thoughtful comments about how things are going for you at the moment.
Are you enjoying school at the moment?
Are you keeping up with the work?
What did you think about the yr12 final assembly last week?
Are you looking forward to leaving school? What do you want to do after school?
What activities do you do outside of school? Describe them.
What films have you seen recently?
What computer games do you play?
What books have you been reading?

Add a new Page which will be devoted to publishing your growing anthology of poems. So far you should have written 2-3 haikus and a couple of acrostic poems. If you are not sure about this, have a look at Brendan’s and Ricky’s poems for inspiration!
If you have done this – write your limerick poem. Get the instructions from your Daymap site (English – 7G – Documents)

Now that you have completed the magazine assignment, reflect on what you have done in a new post on your blog. Describe the articles you have written, the subjects you have written about. What sort of extra cool stuff have you added? how much did you use the computer? Have you handwritten and drawn much? What do you prefer to use? Who do you think will like to read your magazine?
Post some pages of your magazine up on your blog as an example of what you have done. If you have not used the computer at all, ask Mrs A. to take a photo of some pages and she will email it to you.
CREATE A VOKI
Now you can create your own Voki, like mine. Make your own Voki account by going to http://www.voki.com/

ABOUT ME
A lot of you need to add a little blurb providing background about yourself. some of the blog layouts have an “About” section. If yours doesn’t, just create a new page called “About Me”. Provide some general pieces of info about yourself but remember, no full names, addresses etc.
