Comic Strip

I thought it would be fun to do something the day before Spring Break that we haven't done to this point on our blogs!! I found this website where you can create your own comic strip--fun!!

You need to go here and follow directions to create it. The only way I have found to get it to your blog is to do an 'apple+shift+4' and highlight the comic strip itself (after you have finished it and chosen the 'print/email icon). It will then be on your desktop and you can insert just like any picture we have put on our blogs in the past.

Of course, you must keep them school appropriate!! Have y'all heard that request at all from me this year??!!?? ;)

Have fun!!

Also, hope you have an AWESOME Spring Break!! Be safe--and SMART!!!

It's a Contest!!

I know, I know...some of you think you were robbed in the past when we have had contests on our blogs! Well, here is your chance for some revenge!!!

You are going to write a poem about being a senior, your senior year, graduation, senioritis...you get the picture! Something about this year! :) They should be a reflection of you and your personality...they do NOT have to rhyme.

There are, of course, some rules:
1. They must be school-appropriate (not even any innuendos)!!!
2. They must be AT LEAST 12 lines long.
3. They must be your original work--no copy and paste from other websites or using someone else to write them!!!
4. They must be school-appropriate!!!
5. They cannot make fun of our school, faculty or anyone in our student body!
6. They must be posted on your blog by the end of your class period on Thursday (the 12th)--or they will not be eligible to win the contest.
7. Oh, and...they must be school-appropriate!!!

For those of you who tend to "forget" to post your blogs, please note that this particular blog will count as a TEST grade!! Do it!! ;)

Now, get to your blogs...and HAVE FUN!!!

Can you imagine what it would have been like to live in Salem during these witch trials? One day you are living a normal life and the next, you or a loved one has been arrested for witchcraft! Your life would be turned upside down in a matter of hours!

For today's blog post I want you to imagine that you had been accused of witchcraft. What would you do? How would you react? What could you do to prove your innocence? Would you accuse others or would you simply try to prove your own innocence? Pretend that you live in Salem during these witch trials and you have been accused. Go to your blog and write a letter to the church in your community that would prove your innocence and perhaps request help from the church itself. Remember, your life is on the line...be convincing!! You may also do more than just write a letter...you decide how far you will go to prove your innocence!
