Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Good morning to Lachlan's class at MLC!

I've been plotting over the weekend and decided to test your mettle.  Are you up for the Inside a Dog challenge?  (Make sure you keep track of your progress on a Word document as you go through the tasks.)

Answer the following questions and you may be in for a prize...

  1. Create a user profile complete with a picture (non-copyrighted).  Write your username on a post it (see Tye) and hand to Tye.
  2. Choose your favourite picture of a dog reading in the FORUMS area and write your fave dog and the book they're reading beneath this entry.
  3. Decide what kind of reviewer you are by checking out the blog posts.  Select which one you are based on the criteria.
  4. Write a descriptive paragraph on the Inky Awards.
  5. Identify two supporting partners of the website.
  6. Find 'The Piper's Son' in the book catalogues.  Who wrote the book and what is its current user rating?
  7. Select three titles you want to read and indicate as a book you would like 'to read'.  This will be listed on your profile so make sure you do this properly.
  8. Who is the writer in residence for March?  Name one of their books.
  9. Name a writing competition you'd be eligible to enter?
  10. Who writes the blog posts on insideadog?  How old are they?
  11. Why is the website called insideadog?
  12. Who is Groucho Marx?

Tye and Lachlan will choose people who have done a great job.  They will win a special prize - the highly sought after and very rare insideadog-tags.

If someone goes above and beyond, there is an extra special offer to be highlighted on this website!

Good luck and let the games begin!
