On any given Monday, you might start by
responding to other texts, which is another way to say that you might begin your week by reading, then
adding comments in two blog posts by your peers in your
personal learning network.
You might also want to begin your week by
responding to an image. If you have a question (from your
10 self/10 world questions) and a keyword (e.g. relationships,
Iraq, video games, politics...) in mind, you can search for a
Creative Commons image to
jump-start this week's blog past.
A third and most common way to begin each week is by
producing text. Choose one of your
10 self/10 world questions, and
freewrite about that questions in Docs.
Once you have your
Google Reader set up, you might also choose to begin your week by
responding to feeds. That is, take time to carefully read a few recent blog posts, news items, or articles about your inquiry. Copy specific quotes from these readings and write responses.
A fifth option might be to start your week by
responding to audio. Be sure to keep notes in Docs and write responses as you listen to podcasts that you have
subscribed to using Google Reader.
