The strange blogs

Title: China gave Ice Cream to the World
The blog talks about the origin of Ice Cream, which comes to China according to the blog.
The title of this blog is fitting because, it gives the reader an unknown fact about a famous dessert.
The blogger offers information that is easy to find, rather than looking in a fact book that would take you a long time.
This blog can be compared to the last one that is found in this blog since they both talk about the same subject, but this one goes more in depth than the other one.
This is a good blog since it tells the story of where Ice Cream is from.

Title: Dinosaur was Orange!
The blog is about a Dinosaur species that the University of Bristol found. The University was able to identify the color, first time this has ever happened.
The title is fitting because, it gives the reader an interesting science fact, that was thought it was impossible to be discovered.
The blogger offers information that is very new and has not been published in many textbooks or science books.
Another blogger called What Color Is Your Sinosauropteryx? talks about the discovery of the color of the same dinosaur species the other blog talks about.Both of the blogs are good blogs although the one called What Color Is Your Sinosauropteryx? talks more about the discovery than this one.
This blog is a good blog since it tells the story clearly, short and concisely.
Title: I just learned that ice cream was invented in China. How did I not know this?
The blog talks about how Ice Cream was created in China some 1,000 years ago.
The title of this blog is somewhat fitting since it demonstrates how the guy knew that Ice Cream was invented in China and explains how it was made back then.
The blogger offers nformation about how people made Ice Cream in China 1,000 years ago, which is something that almost never appears in any history book of Ancient China.
This blog is similar to the first one shown, since they both talk about the origin of Ice Cream. The difference is that one focuses on how it was made back then and the other focuses on the story behind it.
This blog is not that good since, it is very brief and the title doesn't reflect very well on the content.

What is a blog?

A blog is a website that shows information about a certain subject that can be commented by a reader and be able to interact their opinion with each other.Blogging is the action of posting or writing in any blog. A blog is not the same thing as a book. A book writes a story or text in which you can't interact with it or write a comment. In a blog you also write a text, but instead it gives the chance t the reader to be able to post it's comment. Blogs need to change fast since people can comment on new ideas and they won't get bored of the seeing the same ideas over and over. People like us might read a blog just to find out about a topic fast and be able to discuss it with different people. We should sometimes doubt the objectivity of a blog since it may try to change our point of view about something we know about. Our blog this semester will be about the work that we do in our English class and about the themes related to it.
