Judging a book by it’s cover – yes, it’s something we ALL do. But have you ever read a book with a lame cover and thought that you totally could have done a better job designing it?
Well, now’s your chance. You can “Create Your Debut YA Cover” and post it for the world to see over at the 100 Scope Notes blog. There is already a gallery where other people have done the same. So, show us what you got!
I love this!!
We all need advice sometimes, but we don’t always know where to go for it.
That’s where ‘Hey Josh‘ comes in. Josh Shipp is a teen advice guru who runs a site where he passes on practical, hands-on, real-world experience to the thousands of teens who ask for his help. Abandoned and abused as a child and raised in foster care, Josh has taken his past of hurt and neglect, turned it around, and used it as a catalyst for helping others.
In addition to his website, Josh also has a YouTube channel (obviously). So check him out and see what you think!
Do you have an opinion on issues like politics, health care reform, world affairs or sports? I’m sure you do and your 9th grade social studies class is not always the most exciting place to share.
Check out Next Gen Journal, a site where teens and twentysomethings are writing original essays outlining their thoughts and opinions on these topics and more. And if you have something to share on world events, this is the place to be heard
