Instructions:
How cool was camp!?

Have a good discussion with your group and your teacher as you think about your highlights from camp.
Camp was an awesome time, and it would be really awesome to share those experiences on our blog. It would also be nice to have them there for next year. This means our paragraphs might end up a bit longer than normal, and thats ok!

About me - Update your blog
Walt: be cybersmart!
Instructions:
Welcome to 2017!
It is a new year, and you need a new 'about me' on your blog!
Your 'about me' blurb represents yourself, your family, and your interests for 2017! But we also need to make sure that we are being cybersmart because anyone in the world can read this!
We want our blurbs to be:
- Different to everyone else's blurb!
- Short and sharp! = Audience appeal!
- 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.
