Blog Feedback
Our writing has been affected by the use of blogs because we have to make sure our words are spelled correctly.
Yes, my knowledge of current events has grown since doing the current events because when it was my turn to do the homework, I looked at several articles to work on. I also like to read the articles that other students in my class have done and it helps me learn more about what is going on in the world.

Weekend Homework
My group and I believe our writing has been affected dramatically by the use of blogs. We understand the importance of correct grammar online and how to use spellcheck, along with many other cool graphics to use when blogging. To show the improvement of our class' writing, we would distinguish a post where the whole class responded to a post by Ms. Lambard because it shows we pay attention and we know to use grammar on the blog. We think using correct capitalization and punctuation is important when blogging because it helps us to practice using good grammar when online, and we need to maintain that for when we write on paper. Current Events have become more understandable to us through the blog. We can get instant feedback from our classmates about things that are happening around the world, which makes us all feel connected. Our favorite current event was posted about life in Israel, posted by our new student from there. It was interesting to learn the cultures of a country so far away. Posting shouldn't be a requirement, but everyone should realize the importance of blogging and how it helps bring our classroom more educated and technologically advanced. It can be really fun to blog!

We have learned to like reach deeper and find the best possible answer to questions. We have also learned to be able to write good responses and think thoroughly.
Yes because our blogs are being used all over the country which are representing our school. This then puts out a good message about our school. Another reason is because if we do not use good spelling and things we dont get good grades.
We now know what is going on in the world and see what the worldis like. We are able to also express our thoughts about what is going on in the world.

Party With The Teachers
Literally; imagine partying with your teachers while they sell you and your pupils bottles of beer for $5 each. John Clark, the assistant principle of the school, and his wife Mary Clark, a teacher of another school, were the two who hosted the wild festivity. Read this eye-ataching article to read more!

Need a Good Book?
Recently, I borrowed three books from Ms. Lambard that were so good, I couldn't put them down. I read "Stuck In Neutral", "Confessions of a Closet Catholic", and "Shattering Glass" all within two weeks. If you're ever in need of a good book, ask for a recommendation from our favorite language arts teacher. :]
