Fixing Your Blog

Dear Students,

Remember there are 5 Parts to writing:

1. Rough Draft - what you write in class
2. 2nd Draft - typing it into Google drive or MS Word
3. 3rd Draft - sending it to me so I can review it, and help with mistakes
4. 4th Draft - fixing the mistakes (you can send it to me again to make sure you fixed everything)
5. Final Draft - after all of the mistakes are fixed, you add it to your blog


Make sure you do not add it to your blog until after you've fixed your mistakes. If you have added your introduction to your blog before fixing your mistakes you will need to 'edit' your blog.

How to 'Edit' -


1. Log in to your blog and you will see your blog name and posts. Click on 'post'

2. Do not click on the name. Put your mouse on the name, underneath the name you can choose to edit, view, share, or delete your post. Click on 'EDIT'

3. After you click on 'Edit' - your post will open and you can fix your mistakes. After you fix your mistakes click on 'Update' - 

You're Done :)

Happy Writing! :) 

Making Corrections to Your Writing

Hello Students!
I have read your introductions and they are very good, but remember we want to fix our mistakes before we post them to our blog, ok? :)

Remember ~~

Pink = Make a capital letter

Example:Wrong sentence: When i watch TV i watch it at my house.
Correct Sentence: When I watch TV I watch it at my house.

See the correct sentence has capital 'I' not lower case 'i'

Capital Letter = O, P, A, L
Lower Case Letter = o, p, a, l

------ = remove from the sentence

Example:

Wrong Sentence: I will be working taking on hard.

Correct Sentence: I will be working hard.

Blue = correct the spelling

Example:

Wrong sentence: I like to play bascetball(basketball)

Correct Sentence: I like to play basketball.

After you fix your mistakes you should only have the correct sentences on your blog. Ok? :)

After You Have Created Your Blog and Followed My Blog

After you have created your blog, and followed my blog please leave a comment on this post. Copy/past your blog name here so I can follow your blog :)
