Joyful Journaling

**Now that you have posted your argumentative essay as a practice post, please read and complete the following creative non-fictional post.  You have two main options.** 

 OPTION #1:

What are you grateful for?  Use two paragraphs to express about two things, people, places, occurrences, etc that you are grateful for and why.  For this option, you must include two photos that represent each of the two items you are grateful for.

The photos must either be safe, appropriate personal photos (without clearly identifying anyone or any place) OR a photo from Creative Commons.  See the instructional sheet on logging on to our Flickr/Creative Commons account.

GO!!

OPTION #2

Remember writing your “My Fifteen?”  I am asking you to refer back to that list now.  

a. Choose one of those topics that you wrote down a couple of months ago, during the start of class, and write two paragraphs in which you reflect on that topic.

b. Also, include one – two personal photographs that does not reveal anyone’s specific identity (i.e. a far-away photo – like the one of my niece above, an item that symbolically represents your topic – like a flower from your garden, a logo that represents you, etc).

———————————————————-

Place either option in the Journal category.

Once you posted and are done, make one positive comment on a classmate’s blog post.

These posts will continue to help us become familiar with the basics of the blogging platform as authentic writing.  I look forward to being a part of your authentic digital writing experience!!  Let’s write!!
