Week 3 – Where I live
In the last two weeks, you have been introducing yourself and your class. Now it is time to tell your readers about the area you live in and your daily routines. For this activity, you will need to use links to take your readers off to other websites eg a map of your state or a tourist destination in your state or province.
To make a link, find the website or page you want to send your reader to and copy the URL. Come back to where you are writing your post and highlight the words you want your reader to click on to go to the website. Now in the icons above your post you will see a link or chain appear. Click on this, and paste in the URL you have copied. Make sure you set the target link to open a new window.
Activities for week 3
1. Tell your readers about your state or province. Include links to map, tourist website.
2. Talk about your typical school day – how big your school is, what type of school, subjects you do. Remember high school in Australia is different to high school in USA.
3. If I were to visit your state, province or town, where would you recommend I visit and why?
4. Make sure you have a clustrmap or if 13 and older, you can also have a feedjit map on the sidebar of your blog. This will help you find out where in the world your visitors are coming from. Clustrmap is part of the widget pack in Edublogs.

Hello Miss Wyatt
Do we have to do all of the activities, or just choose one of them?
Hope to hear your answer soon…

hi. I just wanted to comment back and say you are lucky to stay in bed for that long, and my bus ride is usually only 15 minutes long. Lacey

I recommend Victoria because it is a nice place to be to and it is a good place to be.

G’day Miss W
Thanks for your comment and your advice! I’m glad you liked my writing and everything.
I have fixed up the post with better pictures, and links to them as well, basically their URL but linked into the picture’s name from FlickrCC.
How will you judge the Comment Challenge? When will it end? Just some questions!

Hi Miss W,
I’m a bit late in commenting for I had my weekly tests. This is a great idea! Now I will certainly share interesting news about my school and place and learn new things from others too….Thanks

Hi once again Miss W,
I wanted to tell you that there is much about this on my ABOUT ME page but my parents tell me it is not safe to disclose your location. I wanted to ask you whether other students doing it is safe? They might go a bit off limit, you know! And also I wanted to ask you that the amount of information given on my page is fine?

Thank you very much for the comments. It means a lot to me that you take the time to look at kids blogs. I appreciate all the nice things you say about my blog because most of my comments are from friends and kids, but to get a comment from an adult makes it so much better.
Thanks again!
Ashley.

Hey Ms. Wyatt!
I read your comment about Disney in Califronia and to tell you the truth, California is the original Disney Land and after that came Florida, Paris, and Hong Kong. If you ever visit I think you might want to check the weather so you don’t get caught in the 100 degree weather wrath!
