Blogging Challenge Week 4 Activity 3

Every year on Halloween, my friends and I all go trick-or-treating in a huge, decorated, crowded neighborhood.  Each of us adorned in a festive costume, we stroll door to door to collect an abundance of delicious candy.  Halloween is always a fantastically fun holiday that is enjoyed by all!  Spending the evening with my best friends makes it all worthwhile and spectacular!

Michael Jackson was an iconic performer who has passed away.  He was just 50 years old when he died and this event impacted an infinite number of people across the globe.  Regarded as “the King of Pop”, MJ had possibly the most successful and incredible career of all time, and he will forever be remembered by his talent for music and dance.

One of my favorite times with my family was when we went on a trip over this past summer break!  We experienced the cultures of seven different countries over three weeks, and it was absolutely incredible and fascinating!  I could not have had a more enjoyable experience, and I hope to visit all of the glorious places again someday in the near future!

Blogging Challenge Week 2 Activity 4

First, I went to Katie’s blog and saw her “About Me” post.  Here is what I commented:

That was a great introduction to yourself Katie! I didn’t know that you get to travel to Australia often. That’s amazing! Traveling and dancing are hobbies we share, and we should definitely take a class together sometime! How many times have you been to Australia?

Then, I visited Lauren’s blog and read her “About Me” post as well.  Here is what I commented:

Great introduction to yourself, Lauren! I didn’t know that one of your favortite books is “The Art of Racing in the Rain”.  That is definitely a novel I would love to read this year! How often do you give swim lessons in your pool?

After that, I took a glance at Chloe’s blog and came across her post about behaving on the internet.  This is what I wrote:

Chloe, I agree with all of your statements about online safety and how “not everybody is who they seem”. This is very important and I will definitely keep this in mind as I blog and comment. Do you always think twice before commenting and posting online?

Lastly, I peeked at Madi’s blog and noticed her internet safety post too.  I commented:

I completely agree with you Madi. Kindness is key in all aspects of life, especially online when posting and commenting. This is something for everyone to keep in mind when blogging. Do you always think twice before commenting or posting?

There are many guidelines to keep in  mind when posting comments on Edublog.  For example, bloggers must always use proper grammar, use relevant thoughts, and never release personal information.  Here are two examples:

Bad Example:

My name is Ralph Smith and I live in kansas.  im 12 and have two sisters.

Good Example:

This post was very well thought out and gave me some very helpful information.  I will try to always keep these ideas in the back of my head when I write my next post!  Have you ever deleted someone’s comment because it did not follow the guidelines?

Adding a question at the end works very well too!

Now and then I may tend to be a bit different online than I am in real life. Basically, I might exaggerate online to get my emotions through, since it can be hard to get feelings across on the internet.  This is because the reader of the message can interpret the words by putting them into whatever tone or attitude he/she wishes.  In real life, this is not necessary because when I talk to someone face to face, it is plain how what I say is meant to be interpreted because it comes across in whatever way I choose.  This is a reason to be careful with your wording online.

I used http://www.buildyourwildself.com to make my user avatar!  This avatar represents me because of the purple skirt and shoes, since purple is my favorite color!  In addition, I love wearing skirts and t-shirts.  Finally, the dark hair, eyebrows, and big eyelashes also depict my real life appearance.  This image for my avatar helps represent who I am.
