Complete this sentence:

In this activity, my students are going to use edublogs.org to create an online blog to
Pedagogy Planning

create a post, in paragraph form, about their chosen famous American.


Activity Students will use their chromebooks to create a blog
post in paragraph form from the view of their famous
American. They can use online and classroom
resources to conduct their research. They must
include the important event/contribution to society
as well as a date and three facts. They must write
their blog post from their famous Americans point of
view not from their own (they need to use pronouns
like “I” and “we” not “they”, “he”, or “she”)

1. Prior to lesson- create student accounts for


edublogs, cut out strips of paper with the famous
Americans that correspond to the curriculum on
them, and create example sentences of first and third
person so students can see the difference in the
writing, and create an example for students to use as
a guideline.
2. The teacher will explain the activity to students and
instruct them to go get their chromebooks one table
group at a time and to grab the card with their log in
information on it.

“we” not “they”, “he”, or “she”) They do not learn
point of view until the upper elementary grades so

when did the event(s) take place, etc. While walking

brainpop, Wikipedia, etc (not playing games or
googling other information)

research tell them that they must let you see their
notes prior to beginning their blog posts. Walk around
and make sure students are getting the right
information.
10. As students are writing their blog posts, walk
around and make sure they are writing in proper
form. Remind students not to use I or me but he, she,
or they.

the blog post.
