Topics for Blogging About
The subject that I will be addressing today is what subjects are suitable for discussing in a blog. There are many topics that could be discussed, but some of the more general ones would be more appropriate given the fact that an entire English 12 class will be expected to write about them. Some interesting subjects we could discuss would include TV shows, novels, sports, movies, music, vehicles, and animals. If these blogs were to be marked, I think that the focus should be more on content and ideas than spelling and grammar. My reasons for this are that by grade 12, students are expected to have an extensive knowledge of the basic tenets of writing and the learning outcome for grade 12 should focus more on developing original ideas.

My Superpower
My first blog will be about a superpower that I would like to have. After spending several days deliberating between the many superpowers created by the modern media, I have decided that I would like to have the ability to fly! Flight is a power activated by jumping. You are then able to remain in the air for any length of time. If you wish to end flight, you must slowly descend until your feet touch the ground.
I have many reasons for wanting the power of flight. It has unlimited use, and the loss of flight is the result of either death or power abuse. Power abuse (as it pertains to flight) is the repetitive harassment of other flying projectiles, such as airplanes. My first reason for choosing the power of flight is that when you fall out of bed, your power is activated and you levitate until morning without having your sleep disturbed. You can save massive amounts of time because aerial traffic isn't nearly as congested as our roads. This power can be used on others if you hold hands with them and perform a synchronized jump. You can also use this for inanimate objects; however, you must carry the object(s) for the duration of your flight. Since you must carry any objects you wish to bring, they shall become weightless while you are in the air. The power of flight can also help you save money since you'll no longer need to use vehicles to arrive at your destination. In fact, you can use your power to make money by selling your vehicles and taking people on beautiful aerial tours of the earth for a reasonable fee (as long as you have the proper permits). Clearly, I have finally found both the perfect power and the ideal career.
