General Rubric for blogging

Application: Spelling, grammar, paragraphing should be respectable. Who is going to read a blog that appears to be from someone who can't write?

Knowledge. You may have to do a little research to show you know something.

Thinking/Inquiry. You should also show you are thinking: ask questions, become an explorer of life.

Communication: Be aware that you are writng for the PUBLIC (or at least our class) So you need to be interesting and engaging. And when responding to other blogs,be respectful and get a good discussion going if you can. Pictures, links, can be good resources to add to your discussions.
(Please keep blogs free of things that you would judge to be inappropriate. As a grade 12 student you probably have a good sense of this. If unsure, please consult with me. There are sensitivities in others we have to respect.)
