Looking for examples of blogs created by young people or thinking about creating a blog this summer for your classroom?

Two of the blogs that I follow are created by young people. Both are people in their early 20’s, both previous students of mine, one my son.

Hazel Groce is finished college, has recently joined the Peace Corps and is spending 27 months in Nicaragua. I am following her trials and tribulations by reading her stories and looking at her photographs. I feel her pain and her joys. You can follow Hazel’s adventures as well by clicking here. I am sure Hazel would appreciate comments from the states.

It is not only great to see young people blogging and sharing their stories but also to see their photographs and know they are turning into writers because they are writing about their passions.

Noah starting his trip on the Allagash

Noah Nestor Kleiner just completed his junior year at College of the Atlantic. In the fall of this school year he built a 16 foot strip canoe using red cedar. During the last trimester he paddled in several locations in Maine testing and pushing the limits of the boat and himself. You can read about his adventures on his No Right Angle Blog by clicking here.

If you have a blog you’d like to share please let me know. If you are thinking about starting a blog yourself and you have questions, please email me or post it in the comment section at the bottom!
