Your blogs are coming along wonderfully! I am very happy to see that you enjoy blogging. Now that you have had some practice posting and responding to comments, it's time to look at ways to make your blogs even better. One way to improve your writing is to use the Traits of Good Writing: Ideas, Organization, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency,and Conventions.
Using the Traits means asking yourself some questions about your writing. Let's focus on Conventions and Ideas. Here are some questions to ask:
Conventions
Did I proofread and edit my blog?
Did I make sure everything was spelled correctly? (Don't just rely on spell check!)
Did I use correct grammar, punctuation and capitalization?
Ideas
Did I write about one main idea?
Does my writing make sense ?
Did I write original ideas or perspectives?
Did I describe important details?
By asking these questions, and making changes to your writing before you post, you will write better blogs that are more interesting for people to read.
What do you think you do well when you write? What are some things you need to work on to make your writing better?
