- Write 10 questions that you have about self and 10 questions that you have about the world.
- If you are using Google Docs, make the teacher a collaborator so that the teacher knows who is having trouble and who has not completed the assignment and who needs help with editing the questions so they can be useful to the student for writing and researching.
- In parenthesis, type at least 5 tags after each question. ("tags" is another word for keywords)
- In the Interest section of your Youth Voices Profile, add each of the tag words. Notice that some will immediately become links. You will know it is a link if it has an underline after typing it. These links are connections to other students on Youth Voices who have similar interests and concerns.
- Next, pick one question and write about it as though you are the expert. Write about why it is of interest to you and all that you already know about it. Write about what you would like to know about it that you don't already know.
- Refer to the fourth row of "Power Users' Weekly Assignments" to see guidelines on how to deepen the writing, make it more interesting, and add multimedia.
- When you are done, remember to post the writing as a Discussion, choose a Topic, and add 5 or more keywords..
- Now you can read and listen to other Discussion posts that relate to the same topic. Comment to those writers who are writing and recording posts about topics that are also of interest to you.
- Continue to use the "Participating..." guidelines to guide you in how to publish and participate in interesting conversations and make new friends on Youth Voices.
