For this blog activity, I am asking for you to do three things:
1. First, if you haven't finished re-blogging something from another website (Activity #1) you must do that today as well.
2. Second, following our instruction about adding RSS feeds to your Blog, I would like you to display the RSS feed from my Blog, as well as one other Blog/Website of your choice that pertains to your topic.
3. Third, I would like you to read and comment on at least two classmates' posts for number 1 today. This should all be finished by the end of the Block, but if you have more time, feel free to browse for more websites that pertain to your project!

Blog Activity #1 - Your Mission Should You Choose to Accept It (Well, You Don't Really Have a Choice)
Your first activity for this Blogging project is to determine what the focus of your Blog will be. In your first Blog Post, make a proposal for what your blog will cover. Write a minimum of six sentences, noting that this is also your journal assignment for this week. Be sure to answer the following questions in your post:
1. Will you create an E-zine, opinion Blog, a combination of the two, or something else? Describe to me what your Blog will be focused on doing; informing or conveying opinion.
2. What science topic will you choose? Note that general science is NOT acceptable, it must be a specific area, like extraterrestrial life, reef biology, atmospheric science/chemistry, global warming, or anything you can think of. Be sure to include what you'll focus on and why it interests you in your first post.
3. Where might you search for information to blog about? What kinds of websites would be a good place to keep your eye on?
Once I've approved your proposal (by commenting on it), you will spend the rest of the class searching for blogs/websites covering your topic. Your goal today is to:
1. Find one article/post addressing your topic and reblog it onto your blog. Make sure to include with this either a summary of information in the article (for magazine type Blogs) or a response to the article (for the opinion based Blogs). These responses must be at least six sentences long.
2. Also, please make sure to follow my Blog @mistermchem.blogspot.com so that you recieve my updates. When I follow you, I will recieve your updates as well.
