Why Should Students Blog?

From Mary Kruel, a teacher widely known for her online classroom work:

I think that the biggest advantage to blogs is that they provide an authentic audience for student writing and work in general. In the past the teacher was usually the only person who read student work. With a blog, student work can be read by classmates, parents, extended family members, school community members, project partners, classroom teachers, pre-service teachers, and anyone around the world who locates the class blog.

Washing Dishes

by Lizeth

The job that I hate the most is washing the dishes it is gross. It is gross because sometimes the dishes have left over food then you have to scrape it off. The dishes also smell gross. Doing the dishes is the most boring chore you just stand there washing the dishes. Sometimes I try to get out of doing the dishes by saying my stomach hurts or I try to get my sister to do it if she doesn’t want to wash them for free I try to ask her if she wants money to do the dishes.

Worst Job

The treacherous job of... cleaning the cooler!

by Shane

I’ve had plenty of bad jobs, for example I scoop the dog’s poop as a daily chore but no job will be worst then when I had to clean out cooler. Every year we close up the cooler for the winter and have to clean it out before we use it. Last year I had to clean it out me for spring break the moment in opened it up dried pigeon poop went every where. I had to take off all 4 cooler pads get them off the roof, without dropping them, and wash them. It took, at lest, a half hour for each pad to be clean and to dry. Then came the hard part, I had to dared each 40 pound cooling pad up the ladder, the catch with one hand. With that done, 20 minutes later, I realized I had forgotten to clean the main part of the cooler! It to me anther 4 hours to clean out the main part of the cooler and when your afraid of heights it is so not cool! Finally I got it to work with a lot of luck and a lot of duck tape. I partially shoved everything of the roof and went down the ladder so fast my sister commented that she never saw me go down a ladder so fast. All in all it took me 6 hours to complete. It was some of the worst hour of my life!

Cleaning My Room

by Shawni

The job that I dislike the most is cleaning my room. This job takes a long time to do and is boring. I always have to clean my room because my mom freaks out. If I don’t clean it she’ll yell me just get mad. Once I get tired of the yelling I start to clean.

When I clean I get really bored so I hate doing it. I always have to have a friend over or watch television. My room is always so messy so it’s even worse. It seems like it takes forever but its not that bad.

Once I strip my sheets and put them in the washer I can take a brake. Then I switch them to the drier and get back to work. Once everything is in its place I make my bed and I’m finally done.

It feels good to have it clean and my mom is happy. After it’s cleaned I try to keep it that way.
