About the Blog

 This blog will allow them to use their vocabulary that they already know (food from the market place, adjectives/descriptors of the date, time, and weather) and they will apply what they are learning about outdoor activities and hobbies (swimming, running, skiing, camping, etc.)

Another way in which I would use a blog is to have my students create travelers blogs. For instance, I could have my students pretend to go to another country and while they were exploring their country, they would be told to blog about their experiences in that country. This would give my entire class the chance to learn about other Spanish speaking countries while having the opportunity to use their Spanish creatively in their posts. In the blog I created for our Unit 2 deliverable assignment, is a template to what it would look like in the future. I posted a greeting to the students, telling them about the assignment and how they will be required to create a blog using blogger and I require them to write three different entries, with one entry containing a link to another website giving more information to their readers about their country.

I see this tool as valuable, especially with teaching Spanish because it will be great for my students to blog about their experiences in learning a second language. Not only will they have the chance to express their experiences with me, but they will have a chance to respond to other classmate’s opinions, ideas and challenges associated with second language learning.
