Welcome to the big bad world of blogging!

Hello everyone and welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will serve as a weekly online journal entry. It will be a way to earn points for Language Arts class but SO much more. It will be a way for you to get your voice out there! Every week there will be a discussion topic/question posted by yours truly and it will be your job to respond. Your response may be in direct relation to the topic or may be a comment about another student's response. The topics will vary but your job will remain the same. Respond to the topic in as much detail as you find necessary and in as genuine a matter as possible!

In order to receive the credit you justly deserve, when you post make sure your full name is listed.
Happy Blogging.

Blog #6 week of 5/2-5/6

BLOCK 1/2 ONLY!

So... tell us what you think of the movie, Dead Poet's Society. What did you like? Tell us your opinion. Also tell us which of the messages from the movie are you going to take with you for your own life?!?

The five main themes from the movie are:
1.   Teaches the importance of looking at things another way. This includes reading, writing, POETRY as a unique and powerful medium and life itself.
2.  The importance of not always conforming! Do not spend your life worried of what people think of you. Maintain your own beliefs. Trust that your beliefs are unique and your own.
3.  Find your voice. It can be in sports, writing, your school work, extracurricular activities or just the positive life choices you make!!!
4.  Stand up for what you believe in!
5.  Carpe Diem – Seize the day! Make your life extraordinary. It is your choice what you make of it.

Thank you for blogging by Friday morning!
