FACS Post #4- Teen Living/Adult Roles

Students could post journal entries in a blog. You have to be careful because with journals, the entries are private. If you were to use this idea, help your students make sure that only you, the teacher, have permission to view the blog. That way, everyone knows it is confidential. But blogging can be a more fun way and a creative outlet for students to journal. Especially with how popular technology is these days!

FACS Post #3- Foods and Nutrition

Students could start their own "food blog" about recipes they are trying.
my food blog (started in 340)

With the food science route, they could even post about changes in the recipes and effects the changes had on the final outcome.

FACS Post #2- Interior Design

Interior design assignments could include:

Making a post for each of the principles and elements of design with a certain number of pictures they should find to exemplify that principle or element.


Posting about good vs bad design with accompanying pictures and description of why it does or does not work.
