Dear Students,
After walking through the room at the end of the day, I noticed not only the regular assortment of papers, but candy wrappers all over the place, and chocolate stuck to the computers and the heater at the back of the room. It took me about a half hour to clean up your mess (including the melted candy from the heater). I am VERY disappointed - trying to do something nice by bringing you some holiday candy clearly backfired. I do not appreciate my room and the equipment in it ruined and abused. Please extend me the same courtesy that I extend you - be respectful, clean up your mess.
A very sad Mrs. Ell

Blog 12: Bucket List
DUE MONDAY DECEMBER 16, 2013
Create a list of all of the things you want to do before you die. No less than 50, but of course there is no maximum number. If you already have a "bucket list," revise it and check off the items you've completed, adding new ones to the list. For each item, try to give a reason. For example: "I want to visit London so that I can experience a Shakespeare play at The Globe."
If your post is too long to fit in one post, split it up into two (reply to yourself).

Blog 11: Current Event
DUE FRIDAY DECEMBER 6, 2013
For this week's blog, choose one current event from a reputable news source to inform the class of an issue or news topic going on in the world. Read through articles online in sources such as The New York Times or Time Magazine; you may also find interesting articles on cnn.com, USA Today, or Psychology Today. You are open to any topic of your choice. Once you choose an article of interest to you, read it in its entirety before discussing it.
In your first paragraph, tell us who is involved or who it affects, what is happening, when the event takes place, where it is happening, how the events unfold, and why it is newsworthy. In your second paragraph, discuss the issue of the news article in relation to students and society. What are its future implications? What is the larger impact of the event/topic and what can people learn or do with it?
Post a link to the news article after your response so we can read the article itself. Then, each student must read one other article from any blog post by following the link and respond to that student’s post--building upon it, disagreeing with it, or re-thinking it.
Also, no two people are allowed to post on the same current event for their original post.
