Helpful Hints for a Blog:
  • Write your Blog post in a Google Doc. When you have finished it, revised/edited it, and are ready to post it, then copy and paste your text into Blogger with teacher approval/help.
  • Create a lead for your post! Stay away from the boring standard of "I just finished book title and it was really good" or "Book title was great and I'm going to tell you why." Get more creative!  Think about using one of these options instead:
    • Start with a question -> How important is friendship?  Can we do without it?    In the video above we get to hear...
    • Start with an opinion, or statement-> Morgan Matson's books are always entertaining and fun summer reads...
    • Start with a quote from the book -> "You've got to have attitude if you're from New Jersey. At least, that's what Eva says." Henry and Eva , best friends from New Jersey...
    • Make a personal connection ->  When I was growing up, I thought my little brothers were the most annoying things in the world.  That's how Steven feels...
    • Give a hint of what's to come -> Friendship issues, great loss, doing the right thing, and a small mystery:  The Secret Hum of a Daisy has all of these things...
    • Connect the book to a popular saying -> We have all heard the phrase, don't judge a book by its cover.  This statement is true for this book..
  • Think about adding an image to your blog - You could add a picture of the book cover, or a picture of something important to the theme/characters.
