About Me - Blog Update
Walt: write sentences with different beginnings
Walt: make our blog posts CyberSmart
Instructions:
Welcome to 2016!
A year has passed since you last wrote your 'About Me' blurbs on your blogs!
Your 'About Me' blurb tells your blog audience about yourself, your whanau, and your interests for 2016! Most importantly, we need to to make sure that we are being Cybersmart (we will discuss this) when writing this because anyone in the world might read it!
We want our blurbs to be:
Different to everyone else's blurb! So all about what makes you special, different and the person who you are!
Short and sharp! Grab the attention of our audience and make them want to read more.
Cybersmart!
We also want our blurbs to flow. We do this by:
Using a variety of sentences! Make sure you start your sentences in different ways.
