The Ideal Human Being

Your task this week is to write a description of  the ideal human being. The individual with the finest set of attributes (personality traits), attitudes, life aspirations, and personal values. When you have completed that, compare that "ideal" human being to you. What do you have in common? What are you still working on?

As always, I am looking forward to reading your answers!

Change the World

This is the first of two assignments this week.

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Why would you make this change?  Make sure you develop your answer before you publish it!

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students. Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

As always, I look forward to reading your responses!

Future You

Think about what you will be doing in twenty years. Give me as many details as you can.

For example:

Where will you be living?
What will you be doing for a living?
What kind of car will you be driving?
What kind of house will you be living in?
Will you want to be married or still single?

And so on...

Please take your time and write thoughtfully. Don't forget about organizing your paragraphs and to double-check your spelling and grammar.

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students.  Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

150 Word Story

I have enjoyed reading everyone's 100 word story so much that I have decided to do a part 2! However, this time you may use 150 words. Again...not 149. Not 151.  One hundred and fifty exactly.  :-)

What is happening/happened in this picture?

Make sure you study the picture closely and let your imagination run wild!  Be as creative as you can and don't forget to include the picture in your post! I look forward to reading what you come up with and make sure you check your spelling and grammar before you publish it!

Once this has been completed and posted on your blog, read and respond to at least 3 other people’s posts.

Good luck!

Turning Off The Television

 

Here is this week's topic for your blog:

Would you give up television for a year if it meant you would get straight A's?

If you vote "yes," explain why you think this sacrifice would be worthwhile. What do you watch on television that you would miss most? How would earning straight A's positively impact your life?

If you vote "no," explain why you would not sacrifice television for straight A's. Why wouldn't straight A's motivate you to turn off the television? Why is television an important part of your life? Is there something else you would sacrifice for better grades?

Once you have posted your well thought out response, you will read and reply to the responses posted by your peers the following computer period. Comment thoughtfully on at least 2 other members of the class. Compliment strong points made, ask questions, and build on ideas shared.

Remember the rules for posting information to the web:

- NEVER post any personal information and use only first names please. 
-  Put the question in your answer and always write using full sentences and paragraphs. Feel free to add a picture (a creative commons one) or a video to enhance your blog post.
- Proofread your work (watch your spelling and grammar) before you post it.
- Keep it appropriate for school.
- Have fun and be creative!

As always, I am looking forward to reading your answers!
