Science News Blog

Keep a post on science news stories you see that interest you

Content

Any post you make for the blog should have the following structure and include these details:-
    • An introduction to the news story you found interesting and a link to the original article. 
    • A summary of the major points in the article plus relevant pictures/vidoes (written in your own words!). 
    • Your opinion and feelings about the information in the article. 
    • Comments from your peers (in your advisory groups/class/level).

NOTE:  You should not cut and paste any text into your post.  All your writing should be your own.


Design

Your blog should be as professional and interesting as you can possibly make it. In order to do this, you should think about the following things:-
    • Design (organisation; format, colour; contrast, use of space, templates, object size; texture, text; fonts, etc.) 
    • Writing quality (clear topic sentences, interesting and relevant supporting details, coherent organisation and cohesive linking language, good range and accuracy of grammar and vocabulary) 
    • Extra details (pictures, videos, maps, gadgets, attachments, uploaded files, etc.) 
    • Ease of use (navigation, links, sidebar items, etc.)
