There are 4 activities today. If you cannot finish all of them, do the rest at home.
Use your time effectively.

  • Discuss what makes a good blog in groups of 3-4 people.(3-4min.)
  • Look at the blog evaluation category that the last year students made and discuss.(3-4min.)
  • Post the result of your discussion in the comment column of the blog. (Only one blog entry per one group, but make sure to include each of your group members' names with the posting so we know that you have commented.

2. Re-read your own blog entries that you wrote in the past and make corrections on any mistakes you find. (15 min.)

  • To Edit your blog, click the edit button which will direct you to the editing screen.

3. Read the comments made about your own blog. (10 min.)

    A good blog should be clear, should use the grammar structure and vocabulary we learned. It would be better if it is interesting.

    We think a good blog should be updated frequently and incorporate mixed media in order to make it interesting. A good blogger will also comment on the blogs of others to increase community.

    ... And of course use as much Japanese as possible!

    3) Responding to other students who comment on your blog.
    4) Posting a variety of entries.

    THE NECESSITIES OF AN UNDYING BLOG

    1. Entertaining
    - visually attractive, not too confusing
    layout
    content (big blocks of text --> not cool)
    - utilizes external resources, such as music, videos, pictures

    2. Periodic updates/frequent posts

    3. Clear personality/author
    - can't be offensive but has to have an opinion
    - consideration of others opinions, try not be too politically incorrect
    - exchange of comments, flow of
    - communicates and articulates in a conducive way

    4. If the blog is targeted at Japanese people or students, it has to have Japanese

    - use grammar and vocabulary that you learned in class! YAY!

    5. Bonus: humor and wit

    A good blog should:

    1. Have interesting content that is about Japan or somehow slightly related to Japan or maybe uses Japanese a little bit.

    2. To be considerate to others, reply to the comments people make about your blog and answer any questions they may have asked. When writing a blog post keep in mind what others could be offended by.

    3. Try to update your blog at least once a week.
