Middle School Blogging Strategies

As I've been reading the process of connecting blogs and using labels/tags and categories in Laura Gibb 's SummerBlogFest2020 , I finally realized I did begin such a process with my students the year we started with Blogger blogs. Laura's Process Laura's comment reminded me of our process when she pointed me to her " Biography Assignment ." Scroll down to the blue box to see how her students created their response in their blogs-- here's a screenshot : Middle School Process In our Slice of Life writing, where students loved writing about themselves every Tuesday, I wrote about the process and project here: Slice of Life Writing , complete with links to examples and drafts.

Today, she wrote about Puzzles, something she doesn't usually do and to which she and her husband gravitated to as a time-filler during these covid times, which she addresses as Puzzling Times . The world is a puzzle in which we search for connections that help us make sense of the not just the big picture, but of each part adjacent to us. Childhood Memories So I began to wonder, "What childhood objects and activities are others reconnecting with during these times?" The above image of a puzzle , Izzi , would have been one I would have loved as a child, and one my grandchildren will remember fondly, as it was a favorite for them when they visited as youngsters. As I continued my thoughts, I remembered that I'd connected childhood toys and activities in prior posts: In Childhood Objects , I ramble throug
