I first would distribute a  small piece of paper filled with those words or more that I have selected for them to make them first focus on them.  After they took a look, I would distribute the article to them to read  in 30 minutes and then I would tell them while they are reading, to higlight the words that they have read beforehand they read the article.  After they finished reading I would ask them why I put the focus on these sepecific words, what can be the importance of these words for us and I would like to ask them to summarize the text by making a connection to the words that were given to them from the very begining of the activity.  My aim by doing like this would  be make my students to specific the frequent words that they face with in the article and not to focus each word through reading because they don't have to know each word in a text.  All they need to do is try to find the key words that will help them through reading it so they will figure out the main purpose / theme of the article.

In response to the question , my answer as a students will be as following:   I would use blog to discover what is happening around and I would try to learn how people use their blogs and for what purposes.  Moreover I would prefer to use blog as assistant  for my profession.    when I try to look from teacher's perspective, I would say that posting my students related sources with the course through the blog and make them be aware of the the positive sides of using blog, I think would make them interested in my lesson rather than getting bored from the standard ways of distributing materials.  This way of doing would bring a diversity to my class and as a result my course could become an enjoyable one.
