Monday, September 17 - YOUR blog
Morning!
Today is a chance for you to take ownership of your blog and its contents. You will make a post of any kind that relates to something that is important to you. It can be a social issue, personal issue, or something related to the text.
I'm giving you a little freedom here, so please remember to keep this within the realm of "school blogging".
Make your post and explain why this subject is so important to you. Please feel free to post an article, video, etc. Then, read two other posts and comment on them.
Happy Blogging!!!

Morning!
Chapter 7 is LOADED with much to talk about as we are introduced to "John the Savage". He is a central character in this novel as we move forward. So here's the question:
In your opinion, what is the most essential part of John's character that will move the novel forward:
A) The religious symbols which seem to surround John and the people of Malpais
B) John's relationship to his mother, Linda, a former citizen of World Estate
C) John's life as an "outsider" of Malpais
D) John's seemingly random education, a result primarily of reading Shakespeare and The Bible
E) Bernard's potential relationship with John the Savage as the person who has "found" John.
Choose ONE of these topics to respond to in at LEAST one paragraph of 5-7 sentences (and that's really a minimum). Think carefully about your response!
THEN, find two other posts that people have made and respond to theirs. Try to find people who have chosen to write responses different from yours. Please find new blogs to respond to so that you are not always commenting on the same student's blog.

Good morning!
Today, you should read TWO more posts on a blog you are following. You will then comment 1 paragraph on your reactions to the article.
This should give you THREE articles/links you have read and commented on.
(*Note - please go to new blogs that you are following - if you notice someone hasn't had a comment yet, be the first! Don't stick to the same 3 blogs every time)
ENJOY!
