Homework Post 12: 3 Day Episode

I'd probably call my 3 day Ep something literal, not something that tricks people into choosing it. I'd rather people choose it based on its actual activity than the name. People'd get bored otherwise doing something they don't enjoy...
Name: Thread Bracelet Making (LITERAL)
What would people do:
-Day 1: First I'd teach everyone how to start their own bracelets. After a few practice goes on some plain string they'd get to try it on actual embroidery thread. Once everyone manages to get the hang of starting the bracelets then I'd teach them the basic knot on single string threads, and then how to join different string threads together. The last thing they'd learn on the first day would be a basic arrow knot and how to pick out colours. For the rest of the day they could practice it on some bracelets of their own.
-Day 2: I'd start with a few tips on how to keep their bracelets straight and ways to undo mistakes in the bracelets. Once everyone got the hang of that I'd teach them a few more styles eg. cloud, beaded... The rest of the day they would spend making bracelets for themselves
-Day 3: At the beginning of the last day I would announce a 'best bracelet' competition. The person who could make the most creative bracelet would win :) The student who could make the most bracelets would win :) And the student who could make the bracelet with the least mistakes would win :) Everyone would have until half way through third block to finish when at which time judging would commence.
Trip:
No trip... but the class wouldn't be in a classroom. The library or something. A place where people can get comfortable.
Cost:
$30... embroidery thread is expensive :)
ILQ development:

It'd develop thinking because the bracelets take a lot of focus to learn how to make thread bracelets :)

Homework Post 10: New Blog summaries

5. thehungergamessecrets.tumblr.com
This blog does not reveal its owners but does admit to being a collaboration between a number of people. The blog allows for readers to share their opinions about The Hunger Games series with one another by posting “secrets” to the blog managers and having them transformed into a picture quote. These quotes can be shared with one another by means of reblogging and have made their way around Tumblr like wild fire. Reading the opinions is addictive and I will continue to read them until the final Hunger Games movie is released.

This blog is run by a girl named Jill who posts her adorable doodles on Tumblr for many people to see and reblog. The doodles are mostly quoted and can be used to relate to everyday life situations. This fact makes them so enjoyable to see and almost impossible to not reblog. I love all of the doodles on her page and hope she keeps making them for many years to come.

3. bakingmakesthingsbetter.com
This blog is run by my English teacher (aka. the person who will read this) ;) and her friend Courtenay. They met one another at university and bonded over their mutual love of baking and eventually created the blog to share their delicious recipes. The blog consists of a whole range of tasty goodies including sweet treats and lunchbox snacks. I am tempted to try many of the recipes on this blog and will stay tuned for many more to come.

This blog is freaking amazing! It has some of the prettiest decor I've ever seen and I'm really tempted to make a lot of the small trinkets and do the projects Elsie does. Although the blog is a collaboration between many people, I much prefer the posts from Elsie rather than the other bloggers. The blog’s content is of a vintage style and consists of a range of things from baking, to DIY to photography.

This blog is a drawing blog that is run by a girl named Jacqueline or "Jackie" as she prefers to be called. She fills her page with cute drawings and gifs to entertain her readers. The pictures and gifs are all really cute, and I envy her mad drawing skills. I'll be checking this blog regularly for new content and wish I could draw like her :)


The new blogs I follow :D
