Blog Etiquette

BLOG ETIQUETTE

We use manners in our daily interactions (hopefully) and you will be expected to use some manners and follow some guidelines on this blog. This is a moderated blog. That means that when you post a comment it will not appear immediately but will be held until approval is granted by Mrs. Trumier.

Blog Rules: (Many of these are obvious, but...)

1. No vulgarity. You must use language that would be appropriate for a class discussion (with your teacher present!) No slang or texting abbreviations. Please do not LOL or OMG. This is still a class assignment, so your English should still be proper, though it may be informal. Any comments that are off-topic or inappropriate will not be posted.

2. Proofread for grammatical and spelling mistakes!

3. Do not include your own (or any other student's) actual names or personal information (phone numbers, addresses, city, etc.) in your comments.

4. Commenting on other student's comments is encouraged but be respectful of other's opinions even if you disagree.

5. Comments should have evidence of thought behind them. Do not write anything to irritate Mrs. Trumier:)

THE LAST QUESTION - SO MAKE IT A GOOD ANSWER!

Which character seems the most admirable to you?  Why?

Now don't get confused, girls - this is just Mrs. C editorializing a little here to make the post a little more fun.  This has nothing to do with the question.  I was reading a few reviews of The Chrysalids and a few people have said that it reminded them a  bit of the movie "Blast From the Past" with one of my favorite actors, Brendan Fraser.  So if you're in the mood for an older movie and a not-too-hard-to-look-at actor, it is a great movie.  (I think the book tie-in would be the post-nuclear disaster theme.)
This video clip has nothing to do with the assigned question and you are not required to watch it, but it is kind of amusing.  Brendan Fraser has grown up his entire life underground in a fallout shelter with only his parents for company.
