Week 14 Blog Response

Hi Students,

This week, I'd like you to reflect on your experience at Hellgate High School. How was the experience for you overall? How did you feel? What did you learn? What were your expectations? How was the experience different from/the same as what you expected? What was beneficial about the experience? What did you like? Dislike? Finally, what question would you have asked if we had had more time to talk to the students?  Please write at least ten sentences in your response. Please be honest! I look forward to reading your reflections on this unique experience.

Happy writing!

Week 13 Ordinary People Online Discussion Activity

Hi students,

Unfortunately, we will not have class this Friday; thus, we are going to move our Ordinary People discussion online. More specifically, you will post your response to a specific chapter that has been assigned to you on the blog, and other students will respond to your post. You must post your response by Saturday, 5 pm. You will have until midnight on Sunday to respond to your classmates' responses. Here is a description of what you must include in your response:

1. In your opinion, what is the most important event that takes place in your chapter? Describe the event and explain why you chose it.

2. Describe an emotion from one of the characters in the chapter and explain why you think this character is feeling this way.

3. If you could change something in the chapter, what is one thing you would change? Why?  Be creative in your response!

**I highly recommend writing your response on Google Drive or Microsoft Word BEFORE posting it to the blog!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here is the question:

What issues or problems in your country do other countries also have? How do they affect you personally? Would cooperating with other countries help solve these problems? Why or why not? 

Happy writing!
