This week you will start a weekly assignment named "What's Up"
Each Friday, you will write about something that you want to write about. It can be about how you feel today, what you are doing this weekend, a movie-tv show-anime-song-music video you like, how much your feet hurt, how much you love your bed, or anything you want to write about.
What's required?
a paragraph of written text (you can add a recording if you like)
an image, video, or drawing
a title - What's Up - current date
Graded weekly - 200 point value
A few things to remember:
no personal information
if you write about people, keep names out of your writing.
keep your content appropriate for an academic blog
This week, I listened to a great webinar and heard a NASA astronaut talk about being in space. John Herrington is the first Native American to travel to space. He performed a spacewalk to install solar panels on the International Space Station! Mr. Herrington flew on the space shuttle Endeavor. That's cool because the space shuttle Endeavor is not at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. He also took part in a new IMAX movie that I want to see. I'll include the links below. Have a great weekend!
