New Year, New Goals

8/10/2016

First of all, please accept my apologies for not posting your blog topic sooner.  I know many of you have been waiting anxiously to get started on your required blog post so here it goes!

We have started not only a new school year, but also a new quarter of school.  You are either a returning student who now has to take on a leadership role in the class, or you are a new student or "newbie" that has a lot to learn.  Either way, you may be feeling excited, nervous, a little scared, elated, or all of them!  First let me say that I am happy to have you in our class this year.  I am just as excited as you are to get going and I look forward to all of the cool experiences we are going to share this school year.

For your required blog topic for this week, I'd like you to come up with at least 3 goals that you want to set for yourself in our class for this quarter.  They could be anything from learning how to edit better in Final Cut Pro, to learning how to shoot an interview, or keeping up with your blogs each week.  The cool thing is that you get to decide what those goals are and you are going to work at it in this quarter.  At the end of the quarter, I'll ask you to look back on this first blog post and see if you hit your goals or not so keep track of them!

Remember that we are writing required blog posts in the 5 paragraph constructed response format.  The first paragraph is where you will write about what the topic is and briefly state your three goals without explaining them.  Then in paragraphs 2-4, you will use one paragraph for each of your three goals.  This is where you will explain your goal and describe why you are choosing that as your goal and what you will plan to do to reach your goal.  Then for paragraph 5 you will conclude your blog post by restating your goals one more time with your topic.  

Go and check out these blogs by former students for examples on how to do them correctly.

Finally, these blogs are going to be visible by ANYONE and so you really need to proofread your work before you post anything.  Look for spelling or grammatical errors and yes, capitals count!  Good luck to all of you in your blogs this week and I look forward to reading them!
