Grading Sheet for the Blog Project

Section I: Personal Bio and Material

Hi, my name is Philip and I am 16 years old. I was born in Los Angeles, CA, but I moved to New Jersey 7 years ago and I now currently reside in Watchung. I like to read, play sports, listen to music, play guitar, sing, and eat. I plan on going into the pharmaceutical field in the future.
