For Week 10 of the student blogging challenge, we were asked to conduct a survey with someone who hasn’t seen our blog much.  So, I decided to interview Olivia.  I asked Olivia five questions and below the questions, I included Olivia’s responses to them.

Olivia: How many posts did you write?

Me: I wrote 24 posts.

Olivia: Which post did you enjoy writing the most and why?

Me: I enjoyed writing my post for Week 7.  I liked writing the post for this challenge the most because we were recommended many options for how to draw and make art.  I chose artpad, a great site for drawing and expressing your creativity.”  I drew a brown cross on green hills and a big, bright sun.  I wrote about why I drew a cross and how I’m a Christian and that I hope that my faith in God continues.  This post was probably my favorite out of all of the posts so far!

Olivia: How many widgets do you have? Do you think this is too many or not enough?

Me: I have 6 widgets in total.  I think that this is a little too many for one blog, so I think I should delete some of my widgets.

Olivia: How many comments did you receive from classmates, teachers or overseas students?

Me: In total, I received 31 comments.

Me: Now, I have a real question for you.  What were your first impressions of this blog?

Olivia: When I first saw your blog, it really captured my attention.  I think it was the colors, but whatever it was, I kept wanting to read your blog.

Me: Thanks!

Olivia: Your welcome!

 

Overall, I think that Olivia liked my blog and I hope you do too!

For Week 9 of the student blogging challenge, we were asked to write about blogs we visited.  One blog I visited was Lupita’s Blog.  Lupita wrote many well written posts.  One post that attracted my attention was her post on her math class.  She wrote very descriptively about the new math formulas she learned and I could definitely see that she understood the concepts.  Lupita did a very nice job on this post and it flowed very well.  On this post, I commented that I could tell that she understood the math well.  I also asked her to come check out my blog sometime and included the link to my blog.  Another blog that I visited was Leslie’s Blog.  When I came upon Leslie’s blog, I was particular attracted to her post about the Persian War.  It was very detailed and it was written very well.  Leslie really painted a good picture of what the Persian War would’ve been like to experience.  I especially liked how Leslie pretended that she was a soldier from the war that survived.  She wrote the events of the Persian War so vividly, that it seemed like she actually experienced the war.  On this post, I commented that she really painted a vivid scene of the Persian War and I liked how she acted like a soldier who survived from the war.  Lastly, I visited Adeline’s Blog.  Adeline’s blog was very interesting and I liked how her blog was designed.  I really liked her post about a picture and her story based on that picture.  The picture on her post was a red, white, and yellow clown that was frowning.  Adeline wrote a very interesting and scary story based off of the picture.  It was full of surprises and it was very well written!  I commented on her post that she wrote the story well and that I liked how the story was very suspenseful.  I left a link to my blog and encouraged her to visit my blog.

For Week 8 of the student blogging challenge, we were asked to write about something we have learned.  I decided to take a creative route and I made an animoto.  In my animoto, I talk about how I learned how to face my fears and overcome obstacles, to try new things and to never give up no matter what.  I learned this important lesson through learning soccer.  To read more, here is my animoto:
