Mentor Blogs

-


While creating my own blog, I thought it was important to research and find other blogs that I could get inspiration from. In this post I inserted pictures and brief descriptions of why they are good to scroll through and why I find them interesting. You should check them out!


This is the first blog. It's called Simply Recipes. It shows all different kinds of food that are cool to make. 


 

https://www.simplyrecipes.com

Simply Recipes is a good mentor blog because it is very organized. I like how they chose a color scheme of Teal and Red, colors are important in blogs.
 My family and I love to cook but we never know what food to make. I never realized there were blogs that show ideas for what to cook. That's why I love this blog. They have different tabs for what people look for which is very helpful. I'm already doing this with my blog which I like, it looks professional. Also for the different recipes this blog has pictures to represent what each one looks like. This is very important with cooking because you can never quite tell from the description how the food's going to turn out. This blog is very interesting and well run. I will always come back to it when I need some inspiration of what to cook. 


This is another blog. It's called Scholastic Teachers. It is very helpful for teachers because it shows lesson plans, games, information about all age groups etc.

I've always loved working with kids so In college I'm planning on working towards becoming a Special Education teacher or an Early Education teacher. This blog just makes me even more excited to work with kids. Some of the activities I see on this blog I've done as a kid. Some I've actually orchestrated when I was a camp counselor. I like how this blog has all the tabs in a list with the activities, it's easy to navigate. The theme of this blog is cool as well, the red stripe for the heading of the tabs and then the rest of the intro screen blue. Since it's a teaching blog, when you click on a tab it has pictures showing the activity, and also the different age groups which I love. Scholastic teachers is a really good mentor blog and I will look back at it when I'm working on mine and when I'm a teacher in a couple years. :)


This is the third blog. It's called Metropolis. It's a shopping blog that shows different dog foods but it also has all this information about dogs like; grooming, walking, sleeping etc.

Metropolis is a good mentor blog because it's very organized. I like their color scheme of orange and blue and how they have tabs along the top and the side. In my blog I have a couple tabs along the top. Color schemes are very important in blogs as well as the font types. I love how they have the title in all caps in blue with the logo right next to it.  This blog looks very professional. When you click on anything related to food it brings you to an actual shopping website. I have a dog named Max and sometimes he can be very high maintenance so it's good to know that there is a blog I can scroll through to find information about dog care. This blog is very helpful to dog owners and it's easy to navigate. I like it and I'll be using it as an example and for reference.

My reaction to Celeste Headlee 10 Ways To Have A Better Conversation

-

During and after watching the video 10 Ways To Have A Better Conversation I was so amazed. I loved how she formatted the TED Talk. She told facts, things that famous people said, talked about what usually happens with conversations, and then gave us 10 rules for how to improve our conversations. What she said that I found really interesting was this: "Pure Research did a study on 10,000 American adults and they found that we are way more divided than we ever had been in history, and we are way less likely to compromise. We make friends based on what we already believe." This was a great way to start the talk. Before talking about the 10 rules, in the beginning Headlee made two points that really made me more cautious. These were that a conversation requires a balance between talking and listening. Another one was that M. Scott Peck said "True listening requires a setting aside of oneself." I had many takeaways from the "10 ways to have a better conversation...

Evolving Masculinity Or Not?

Evolving Masculinity or Not?? In the starting of Unit 2, we are in the works of analyzing toxic masculinity. We are studying the articles “The Boys Are Not All Right.” by Michael Ian Black, “Not Your Father’s Masculinity.” by Matt Labash, and the documentary Tough Guise 2 by Jackson Katz.  Jackson Katz, an American educator, film maker, and creator of a gender violence prevention and education program, brought up many important and urgent topics regarding toxic masculinity. Through years of observing and analyzing mass shootings, bullying, homophobia, and gun violence, Katz has been able to gather data and deeply analyze the reasoning for all this.  One of the things Katz said in Tough Guise 2 is that should have a lasting effect on people is that there is a difference between being a man and using violence to prove you’re a man. A big part of toxic masculinity is believing that using violence is what a real man does. Take a fight for example. If two boys are fighting and on...

Little Miss Sunshine

  Little Miss Ice cream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvwVkllXT80 The movie “Little Miss Sunshine” is a 2006 tragicomedy  film written by Michael Arndt.  This film is about a dysfunctional family who’s determined to get their seven year old daughter into her beauty pageant just on time. They take a cross country road trip and there’s a lot that goes on along the way. Some may say this film is about a family who yells and fights with each other all the time but I believe in the bigger scheme of things, it’s about communication, working together, overcoming obstacles, and not caring what other people think about you.  A big scene in the movie was when the family stopped for lunch at a nearby restaurant. They were all deciding what they wanted to order and Olive mentions to her mom that she wants ice cream for lunch. Her dad then steps in and tells his opinion on the matter. He tells Olive that pretty girls don't eat ice cream because pretty girls are skinny and ice...
