As teachers we know that there is a process to introduce and/or improve writing for our students. When I want my students to write a fairy tale, what do I do first?....make sure they read fairy tales. When I want my students to write a newspaper article, what do I do first?.....make sure they read newspaper articles. So, when I want students to start blogging, what do I do first? Yes.....they should read blogs.
You can Google search and find all kinds of blogs. Encourage your students to search for blogs on topics that interest them: sports, sharks, cooking or comic books. There are blogs out there on everything! *Note: This is a good time to talk to your students on safety issues of writing and reading blogs. **Double Note: if you are not familiar with RSS feeds for blogs now is a good time to start researching that.
How about I list some blogs for students to read to get you and them started!
