...as the countdowns and reviews are in full force, it makes sense for the first post of January (week of the 6th to 12th) to be what you feel was a significant news story/headline/world event of 2012.
Regular blog rubric.
Remember to seek external references.
Remember to comment to a classmates post - when you do this much work it's nice to know someone else reads your post.
Substantiate the reasoning as to why the event you selected ranks in the top tier of news headlines for 2012. Don't worry if someone else chooses the same topic, but be sure you do not repeat word for word another classmates opinions.
You can enter your posts at any time you wish. They will not be marked until the end of the week January 6th to 12th.
Good news. There will only be one more blog post after this one.
It will be a special topic TBA in January and will be summative in nature.
Thank you for sharing your opinions and ideas in 2012. You are all awesome!
All the best in 2013!
