Week #5 – International Blogging Challenge

Week #5 – International Blogging Challenge

Before I share all the important details, a big shout out to Jessie who was featured in the March 2014 Flipboard magazine for the International Blogging Challenge. Remember, to have your posts considered, you must comment on the weekly challenge blog post leaving the URL to your specific post for the week once it has been approved and published.

We are nearing the half-way point of our participation in the international student blogging challenge. This week’s challenge provides you several different choices, six to be exact, to consider as you craft your weekly post. All are tied to the idea of memories, and all were created by a pretty awesome group of junior high journalists. Check it out here. I have also copied the details below. Don’t forget to go back to the original challenge post here to leave a comment once your week #5 post is approved and published.

“Memories

This week’s topic is all about memories. Whether they are good memories or bad, they come from the experiences in our lives that shape the people we are and who we continue to become. As you choose your activity – and which memories you write about – think about the impact those experiences have had on your life and the lessons you’ve learned from them.

1. What is your favorite childhood memory? Was it baking cookies with Grandma or visiting the community pool during the hot summers? Write a script and act out your memory with a few classmates in a short video of 2-3 minutes.

2. If you had to trash 2-3 memories to clear storage in your brain, what memories would you permanently delete? Write three detailed paragraphs why you chose that memory/memories to delete?

3. Who have you shared many memories with growing up? Create a slideshow comparing and contrasting two memories you’ve shared with one person, one good memory and one bad.

4. In your own words (not a dictionary) describe what memories mean to you and how they can affect people’s attitude, thought process, etc.

5. Create a comic strip with images that represent one of the strongest memories in your life.

6. Write a post that shows how one of your memories – even one from a long time ago – helps you make a decision today. Maybe it’s mistake you made and don’t want to make again, or perhaps a positive feeling you got from an act of kindness. Post your message in the comments below.”
