How far along are you on your infographic? Will you be finished and ready to embed on to your blog by the end of the hour today? Do you think you've used your time wisely in class? Explain yourself.

So far on my infographic, i am making goo progress and am steadily getting things done. But i have spent my time very wisely trying to make sure everything looks great and the facts are correct and cited correctly.  But i do not think i will be done by the end of the day today.

Why do I have you brainstorm and collect your information in a Google Doc before putting in to final draft? Explain.

By brainstorming first is allows you to pick and choose what information fits best in your final draft. It also allows you to just get a basic outline and give you time to pick and choose what kind of format you would like on our final draft.

Yesterday I introduced you to infographics... tell me again what they are and how they are used? What is the benefit of an infographic? What goes into an infogrpahic?

Also, go out and see if you can find an already existing infographic on your global issue. Save the image to your computer and upload the image into your blog post for today. Save the source link to the image so that you can site the image in your blog post. See my examples at the end of this post.

~An infographic is a very colorful an picture filled page that is attention grabbing. It is fact filled with many different statistics. The benefit of using and infograph is to display facts and info in a very interesting way that appeals to all audiences.

Post your research paper to your blog. Give me a short (one paragraph summary) of your paper and include the link for me read your paper. Make sure you link up words! Do NOT copy and paste the ugly link. This should not be foreign to you.

For my research paper I decided to research on of one of the worlds largest issues, Poverty. My Poverty paper was five paragraphs and talked about the cause, effects and possible solutions to poverty. I found many ways that the world could work together and quit spending money on war materials.

Where are you at with your 5 paragraph essay so far? How is it coming? Is it easy to write? Difficult to write? Is it helpful that you created an outline first? Explain.

So far with my 5 paragraph essay i am two paragraphs into it. But at the moment i have had no writers block or anything that has caused me much trouble. But yes creating an outline online was a must have in order to keep me on track and up to pace with everybody else in the class

Tell me about your Sweetheart weekend. If you didn't go to Sweetheart, what did you do? I want details!

Well I was not here in town for sweetheart since i was in Belize. So my weekend was spent on a 4 acre island in the Caribbean sea. When i was there i spent most of my time deep sea fishing or just laying on the beach eating chips and salsa. So that is how i spent my sweetheart weekend.

 Who do you look up to in life? Why? What have they done to help you or guide you?

I look up to my mom in my life for a few reasons actually. First off she is the hardest worker i have ever met and i am not just saying that because she is my mom. She is always working so hard and doing things for others out of the kindness of her heart. My mom has always given me advice and done what is best for me.

Tell me about the global issue you selected yesterday. Briefly restate your paragraph from yesterday.

 For my global issue i choose poverty.  I choose this topic because i believe it is a very large issue in our world today and i think it is something that is not being addressed properly in our world today.
