Be yourself and sincere.
Readers love bulleted lists—they are easy and pleasant to read.
For example, this week we had the following six experiences with our class:
MuZIEum
The film La Famille Bélier
Sign language
etc.
Include images that add value to the text—avoid images that just repeat what you have already written.
Use videos (vlogs) where you creatively share your personal experience and express your thoughts on what you’ve seen or done.
Refer to photos, vlogs, and texts created by your classmates. This encourages readers to explore the rest of your blog, demonstrating teamwork and a shared effort. It strengthens your class blog overall!
Copying and pasting texts from the internet doesn’t add value. Instead, link to an external video or site to clarify your point.
Take a good look at each other. What is your classmate good at? What are you good at?
Who excels at writing?
Who is great at interviewing?
Who takes excellent photos?
Who is spontaneous and natural on camera for vlogs?
Who can capture the essence of a text?
Who is skilled at organising and creating a logical sequence?
Who can link different pieces of text together and make references in the blog?
etc.
In a vlog: If you’re unsure what to say, share your personal experience and thoughts on the topic. Seek inspiration beforehand and discuss with classmates to shape your perspective. Draw the viewer into your story.
Keep your layout clear and uncluttered. Highlight key elements, such as headings, images, and vlogs. Differentiate between regular text and interviews. Choose a calm, legible font to maintain readability.
Create clear headings for each section of your text. Keep your sentences short and to the point. Use enthusiastic language. Watch the video.
Ask open-ended questions, rather than ones that can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no."
Use follow-up questions (e.g., "Could you explain what you mean?").
Incorporate audit questions (e.g., "Did you know...?").
