5. Example of a post: Example of REAL blog from a REAL school
Hard to read the font so jump to next slide where the text is reproduced in easier font

6. Example of a post: Dear Mr Antef,
I am writing to you because I believe that I would be a suitable candidate for the position of a fantastic grave robber.For example, I have stolen over 1 million gold from Tutankhamun's tomb! There is more evidence to support this is that I am quick,cunning and a master of disguise.
Secondly, I have a question for you Mr Antef.The question is that, Are you fed up that you cant get the job done for you Mr Antef? Well you got the right person for the job and the person is me.Because I am quick, cunning and I am very tricky so the guards will never catch me.In my opinion, I think you need another big kerpees because he doesnt look strong enough.
Additionally, I have more evidence to support this because when I hide behind a rock I can camoflouge myself like a chameleon. Eventually, When I hide behind rocks in dark caves the guards will run away from a fake monster and scream out loud, Then I can get on stealing some more gold from Tutenkhamens tomb!!!
Finally, I have two more quesions to ask you Mr Antef.My first question is that why couldn't you choose me instead of Paneb? My second question is that why dont you join my team and get my job done,or should I say yours and my job done? So we could be rich and become kings of Egypt?
Thank you in advance for your response Yours sincerely , Alisha
Read to class.
Get pupils to identify and acknowledge the good stuff.
Paragraphs
Descriptive phrases (eg: quick,cunning and a master of disguise.)
Time Connectives (Secondly, Additionally, Eventually , Finally
Similie (3rd para camouflage myself like a chameleon)
Etc ?
What to improve?
Spellings ?
Last para is a bit unclear ?
The FONT we couldn’t read is the key thing!

7. Quality comments? The paragraphs are used well.
Sentence starters are very good.
I like the phrases: “master of disguise” and “camouflage myself like a chameleon”.
The font you chose looks like real handwriting BUT it’s very hard to read. I nearly didn’t bother!
Different Comments
