Instructions for Blog #2

By now, you've all created a profile based on your character and written your first blog entry as that character. Good for you!

For your next blog, click on NEW POST to begin. Then, you will all be writing as JONAS, NOT YOUR ORIGINAL CHARACTER, (unless your original character was Jonas of course :) )

Writing as Jonas, comment on your training with the Giver. What have you been doing? What are you afraid of? What do you think is going to happen next? What do you like about the training? What do you not like? What is frustrating for you?

Start by answering these questions, but feel free to answer other questions that are not mentioned here.

As always, proofread your work for spelling and grammar! (I can help you with this part.)

Instructions for your first blog entry

In your blog, remember that you are writing as your character. NOT yourself. Write about e events in the story to this point from your characters perspective. Concentrate on the most important events such as the ceremonies and other significant events.

You should also comment on things that have happened to you (your character) in the past. How did these things make you feel? For example, if you're Asher, you may want to comment on how you felt when you were beaten as a child.

Overall, write as if you were writing in a diary, and don't be afraid to be creative!
