Mentor Blog

 My mentor blog. For this blog I looked at three other blogs to kind of get the feel of how to do this. This is my first one though so lets hope it'll be okay. Every blog I read I will post the link down at the bottom so if any of them find interest to you, you'll have easy access!

The first blog I read was 5E Inquiry Cycle Example(Distance Learning Version) posted on October 2, 2020 written by Ramsey Musallam on his blog called, Cycles of Learning. Coming across Musallam's blog I found it interesting seeing some tricks and pointers for virtual learning as he is a full time science teacher. His 5E inquiry cycle example is a five step process of how he teaches his ZOOM classes. His 5E's consist of (in order of steps) engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate. I found his 5E's interesting as he took his own steps to work around virtual learning, and with the way the world looks, virtual will stay for a while so it's interesting to see different teachers takes on what they believe works, or more like what works for them.

The second blog I read was the 15 Daily writing Exercises to Unblock You, Improve Your Craft, and Trigger Your Next Big Idea written by Jerry Jenkins with no publishing date posted (unless I'm blind but me nor my brother could find one). I read this bog with the intent of maybe it could help me personally. Ever since I was a little girl I loved writing stories but as I grew up I hit a really bad writers block, or a mental block that made me feel that what I wrote sounded silly. After finding this blog and reading the 15 daily writing exercises,(even though there are actually 16 exercises) I learned that every writer faces some sort of writers block. Reading this blog gave me some sort of reclarification on the fact that writers block is very everywhere, and that if people wanted to write the perfect words, they wouldn't write at all(Margaret Atwood). I feel if people really stuck to the 15 writing exercises(16), people would see a change in the words they write.


The last blog I read was 11 Positive Thoughts for Your Everyday Motivation posted on July 21, 2020 written by Doron Hafner on the blog known as Lifehack. This post grabbed my attention and personally I would like to say that I believe that I am a naturally happy and positive person, but it is never bad to look for self improvement. One thing I really enjoyed with reading Hafner's blog is that he makes his 11 points seem realistic and not far fetched. Some his points consist of taking chances, don't always please others versus yourself, and to focus on the little things(little victories mean more!). Some of his other points people may take as dark, but they are honest and true and it makes you really open your eyes a little more about our lives versus how we see them through our tainted negative sights. 10 out of 10 read, it'll really make you think if you are living a positive lifestyle or if you are living in a negative one and it'll help with bringing up your motivation. Remember, you are your biggest supporter, and this blog will bring out your inner cheerleader for yourself!
