Group activity

Divide up into your groups – or just groups of 5 people.

You have all read our blog CP Stylin’. We would like you to consider the posts you’ve seen on there for a little bit.

Did you do that? Good! Now it’s time for your group to write your own little blog post that would fit right in on CP Stylin’.

The post needs to be 100 to 300 words in length. For this, you will have 8 minutes. Your topic must cover something from the CP stylebook and it has to be something we haven’t discussed yet! All the blog posts will be read out loud, to the class when finished.

You could pick topics like:

- How to properly use names, nicknames and initials.

- How to properly use (or not use) slang and jargon.

- How to properly use brackets.

- How to properly use a dash.

- How to properly use abbreviations and acronyms.

You do not have to pick one of these topics. You may also pick any other topic from the Stylebook that you like.
