Try it yourself - Write a blog post of 200-250 words on one of the following:
  My Country or Culture – Publish facts about your country or write a post on food, songs, stories, clothing or a cultural event that is popular where you come from. Check out Thanumi’s Fun Facts About Greece or My Country for inspiration. Additionally, Thunny’s Culture and Family post explains how the Songkran festival is celebrated in her country.

  My School – Write about your school, the history of your school, a famous person who went to your school, your favorite subject etc. Mrs Yollis’ students made a video about their school to share with their blogging buddies. Also, check out Gracie’s Dress to Impress post on school dress code and Olivia’s school history post.

  Favorite…anything – Publish a post that discusses topics you’re passionate about. You could write about your favorite animal, foods, activities, TV show, movie, holiday etc. Lucie’s choice was Friends, TV and popcorn. Karah shares her favorite sports, and Marianne shared her story creating passion. Victor shares why Christmas is his favorite holiday, while Leila explains why she loves 4th July.
