Blog Assignment

Week 3 :

Write a Bucket List !! (optional)

A bucket list is a list of goals, experiences or things you want to try/do before you die. The idea comes from the expression "kick the bucket" which means to die.

Create your own bucket list - leaders have goals for their life which help them to achieve their dreams. Think like a leader and create your own plan for the future. Refer to your book - page 24  and start making a list of 10 things and write a paragraph about each one to post on your blog. Add an introduction and conclusion.

Hope you had fun writing blogs at GLPS :)

Photo Essay

A photo essay tells a story using pictures

A famous saying is that "A picture is worth a thousand words"

We will not be writing that many words but we will be writing a paragraph about each picture.

Cesar Kuriyama has been doing a similar project called "One Second Every Day" project. You can watch it here:

So let's get started with our version of Cesar Kuriyama's idea. 

Before you begin, think about these things:

Choose a topic

Theme/Story

Pictures 5-7

Captions/descriptions

In your photo essay please include an introduction and conclusion!

Take out your cameras and start capturing shots to share with us! Have Fun!!!!
