Act as a kind of moderator, first by making them brainstorm a few possible topics and finally agreeing on one through some discussion and voting. 

As there are several themed posts this term (see blog syllabus), the best thing to do is to negotiate all of them at once. Please make sure that at least one of these posts is career-related.

Try this ranking activity >> First make students work in pairs or small groups to come up with some themes. Then as a class, find the 3 most popular topics.

IMPORTANT >> Each time there's a free blog session, you will need to help students focus and/or organise their writing by adding some bullet points that mention the main points they should include. Also, don't forget to write your own post as sample and guide.

My drum kit

I bought my drum kit in 2008. I remember that I spent a long time looking for the right kit for me. There were lots of options and it was hard to make the final decision.

These days I can't play as much as I want because my drum set is at home and it's difficult to find the time to play with family and kids. But at least once a week, I sit behind the drums and practice for about an hour. I also play the drums when I rehearse with my band, once a week, but I use a different kit.

I love music and everything which is related to it. I have a big collection of cds and  I have an electric guitar too. But my drums are something special. For many years I was was looking for the right instrument for me and when I sat behind a drum set for the first time, I knew I had found it. I fell in love immediately.

I can not imagine myself without playing the drums. If I couldn't play, probably I would try another instrument, but it would be difficult to learn at this time of my life. Maybe I woud try singing too.
What aboot you guys?
Cheers
