Question

How To Write A Blog Entry

Answer 1

Answer:

Here are some guidelines we have created to help you write and structure your blog in a way that will make it more accessible and relevant to our readers.

Structuring your blog posting

A well structured blog posting will catch the readers' attention, and make them want to read what you have to say. You can help do this if you follow these tips:

Give the blog posting a title that will catch the reader’s eye. This is the first thing they see and will help them decide if it is of interest to them. On TeachingEnglish, you only need to write the title of the blog in the 'Title' field - you do not need to add it in the main 'Body'.

Put the main point in the first paragraph. This is the first thing readers see and it will make them want to read on.

Put the details in the following paragraphs of your posting.

Finally in the last part of the posting add the background information and your name if you wish to.

Writing style

Try to write in a friendly and informal style. Use first person ‘I’ and try to include reference to your own context and teaching experience. Remember that the honest and open views of a novice teacher can be just as interesting and informative as those of an expert. Think about your readers and what they can learn from your experience.

Try to describe rather than tell e.g. instead of saying you thought a book was great, try to explain why you enjoyed it and what you learned from it.

Try to question your reader and ask for their response to what you have written.

Always be polite, respectful of other cultures and opinions, and informative.
