Hart+Sports-High+School--Jen+S

Hey bloggers, it's Jen. My new topics are high school and Hart sports because my readers say that they want me to do both. I hope to use the Stoney Creek newspaper, __The Source,__ highschoolsports.net, and google.com, as well as other high schoolers I know to put quotes and things in my blog. Here's the first high school blog, hope you like it!

Hey bloggers! This is my first blog about going into high school and things that might help you. This blog is about ways to get prepared for our freshman year which we will be going into next year and ways to stay prepared while we are going through it. - Do your homework, be smart. - Try to get on a teacher's good side, don't talk back or get them mad. -Organize! Make sure your binders are clean and you can find things easily. -Sign up for classes that you think will benefit you the most. Try not to sign up for all “blow-off” classes, remember you’re getting prepared for college. -Study for tests and exams, you have a grade point average now - As by request from a commenter, Natalie, you should keep your locker and binders organized. Hopefully these tips will help and you come back to my high school blog to read different topics like what to expect and topics like that. What other tips do you have for getting prepared in high school? Do you think these tips will help you? P.S. - All my high school posts are written in blue and gold! Go Cougars

On another note, the Hart Eagles boy's basketball team is on an awesome winning streak of 2-0! The last game, I personally attended, was against Ruether. Sean played an awesome game. He got fouled when there was about a minute left in the game and made one out of two free throws. That put the Eagles up by one point. Noah had an amazing game also because he drove to the basket a lot. He's a really good ball handler and get get the ball through people. He made great passes to people on the corners, like Sean, who made great shots. Patrick also did really well. He's a really good rebounder and it showed during the game. The final score of the game was 29-27 Eagles. Great game guys! The Eagles have a tough week coming up though, they are playing Avondale who went undeafeted last year. Good luck! Are you coming to the game? Jen..I love your new topic. Maybe you could contact the newspaper class at Stoney. I know the teacher who is in of it if you are interested...Ms. Darga Thanks, Mrs. Darga! Yeah, I might be interested in that, it sounds like a good idea because I got information on what kids at the high school think! - Jen Do you know a ninth grader you can ask for tips and suggestions so you get info straight from a source? Mrs. Allen

Thanks for your input Mrs.Allen, I will make that a bullet point and yes,I do have ninth grade friends so I could get information right from them! Thanks! -Jen You are welcome, Jen- Keep up the great work- you really should consider Stoney's newspaper- you would be a huge asset! ​ Hey Jen! This blog is a really good idea and would be really cool if you could do both Sports at Hart and High School Topics. I have only one tip to add that might help! Make sure you stay involved at your school like join the newspaper or student council. Even drama or sports are good to join. Either way you want to be an active part of your high school! Good Job on the blog! Can't wait for your next post! ~ Neha

Hey Jen! I really like your idea to blog about High School, as well as Hart Sports. I really like this blog, and I think you should continue to blog about Hart sports too! Some other tips for high school would be to keep you locker organized, so you can find your papers, books, and binders easier. I can't wait to read your next blog! -Natalie:)

Hey Jen! I think that both topics would be a great idea because I am still very interested in knowing what happens for the boys basketball season that is just starting. I would also like some more tips on how to stay organized and other things for high school. And I very much agree with both Natalie and Neha! -Delaney <3

8th and 7th grade basketball are both 4-0 going into the break. Last year the new 8th grade team was 5-6 but have done great with the addition of Noah and 3 point shooting of Mike.

Blog Questions

1. Analyze the contents of the wordle made from all of the posts in your category. Remember that this includes all the posts on your topic...not just your own. What are the common ideas that are being discussed and debated? What trends do you see?

The common ideas are football, Hart Middle School, think, players, and games that are being discussed or debated. The trends I see are that the people who blog about sports use the word think a lot in their posts and we also use a bunch of different words that are kind of random, not the words you would think would be in a sports blog.

2. My wordle  3. Compare the two. What is similar? What is different? What is similar is the word like was used almost as much as it was in the whole sports blog in my blog and in both blogs the word think was used a lot. What is different is in my blog I used the words game and high school more than it was used in the whole sports blog.

4. Right before break, your assignment was to search the internet for blogs about your topic. Include the links to the blogs you found as the response to this question. Be sure to give the title of the blogs as well.

I found three thinks to blogs that are the same topics as mine the first one isn't very good but it relates to my topic, they are, [] which is about a boy looking for a middle school basketball team, [] which has different subtitles to different high school grades, and [] which combines both of my topics into one they talk about all sports and high school.

5. Compare your ideas to the those in the blogs that you found. What is similar? What is different? Some of it was hte same like a lot of high school blogs were pretty similar to mine. Also, a lot of it was different. I found that there aren't very many blogs on just middle school sports.

6. Begin to brainstorm about the topic of your next post. What research do you need to do? Where will you find the info that you need?

I think my next post will be about rumors in high school. I need to do research on some of the rumors of high school and the things that aren't rumors in high school, that are actually true. I think I will find this research from friends or from the internet.

Next Blog Draft Ideas

- the rumors of high school - tomorrow boy's basketball game - story about a high schoolers "high school life"

For my next blog post I chose to blog about today's basketball game and tomorrow I will add the the post saying what happened in the game. Today the boy's basketball team has a home game against Van Hoosen. A lot of people are really excited about the game, a lot of kids at school are all wearing white and going to the game to cheer on the team! I'm going to finsh the next part of my blog tomorrow saying what happened. Until then, are you going to the game?

Hey, it's Jen with the second part of yesterday's post. The boy's Hart basketball team had a crazy game against Van Hoosen yesterday. The fans were awesome in the student section. I personally went to it and it was a lot of fun. The game was pretty good also. Noah did a good job of getting the ball through the lane and Mike came really close to a couple of three pointers. Also, Patrick and Noah had great steals and Patrick got a lot of good rebounds. The overall score of the game I can't remember but I do know that the Hart Eagles sadly lost by. Did you go to the game? What did you think of the cheerleaders? Who were some people who did well in the game?
