As an exit point, you will be writing a blog entry that explores the beliefs, customs, common attitudes, celebrations, festivals and holidays of the country assigned to you. The purpose of your blog is to integrate all that you have learned about Traditions in your various subjects to come up with something that does not only summarize new knowledge and skills you have gained but for you to also be able to express your understanding of Traditions from various viewpoints. Blogs are usually written in paragraph form and is very much like writing a personal diary on a website.
Before you can start writing your blog, you will have to do some research in the library or online. Agree among the members of your group about how you are going to do your research. You have now until 26th of March to do this. As most of the information that you will be able to gather from your research is not yours, make sure to cite the sources of your information (name of books and author name, or website address) at the end of your blog entry, including pictures and videos you find online that you might want to include in your blog. See examples below on how to do this.
