Blog Posting!
The CONTINUOUS STORY is about to begin! Here's the optional blog assignment for this week:
I will begin a story with a couple of sentences; your job is to continue it with two postings of your own, apart from each other. Each posting needs to be at least 2 sentences, but you can write as much as you want. Here's how we'll start it:
It was a dark and stormy night as the two friends approached the abandoned house. Thunder rumbled behind them, and rain threatened the sky. Still, they continued to move towards the house.
Take it from there, folks!

Students Respond: Part 2!
Great posts on the previous topic! I have a feeling that you'll see that poem again sometime in high school...
NEW TOPIC!!! There are a ton of websites out there that I am sure you go to daily to check different stuff, from social networking to sports to news, etc. You have two choices to respond to:
1. What sites do you use that really help you with your schoolwork (any class)? Why are they so helpful? (Provide links if you know how!)
2. Which sites that you use need you to have good reading/writing skills? Why is this so? (Once again, provide links if you know how!)
RESPOND TO 1 OF THESE QUESTIONS IN 2-4 SENTENCES, AND RESPOND TO AT LEAST ONE OTHER STUDENT!
Enjoy!
