Hi Gang,
  For this week's blog, I'd like you each to come up with at least five fully developed ideas for blogs you would like to write. (I know some of you don't want to write any blogs at all, but since you will be writing them, I'd like some input into what you'd find interesting to write about.)  When I say, "fully developed", that means don't just make a list that says:
 1. puppies
 2. fast cars
 3. space monkeys
 4. songs
 5. great food


...what I'll need to see is something like:
  1. What is the first pet you ever received? Describe how you reacted, who chose it for you, and how old you were at the time.
  2. What is your dream car?  Is it fast, is it sporty, is it an old bread truck?  What makes it your dream car?
  3. Why would anyone want to write about space monkeys?  What do you know about monkeys that were sent into space on rockets?  Do you know of any bands that sing about space monkeys?  What would you do with a space monkey of your own?
  4. Post the lyrics of your favorite song and describe the specific meaning the song has in your life.  Please provide the name of the song writers and performers.
  5.  What is great food?  How do you classify food as great or gross?  What foods do you crave?


Please don't copy my ideas word for word (obviously).  You can use the same ideas, I know you all want to write about space monkeys, just give it your own spin as you're developing the topic.  


I will take some of your ideas into account when developing your blog topics for 11th grade, so make them interesting and fun.  You don't have to worry about specifying a word count, I'll take care of that.  Have fun with this.
  Ms. Mott
