blogs vs current event

Hey 6th Grade,
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas break. We are going to begin writing blogs instead of getting current events. Please tell me your thoughts on writing blogs and not getting current events. Tell me what you would choose and why.. Also I need some help coming up with some questions for this quarter, please give me a question that you think would be interesting for me to put up on the blog. You never know I might use your question.

Thanks and Happy Days,
Mrs. Lippert
