Website questions for you

Optional... if you have advice or opinions on web design, read the "Website help needed" post at my main (thielmann) blog

"The Wave" Response

Choose one of the following topics on which to write a critical response (post it on your blog):

Option 1. What is the central message of The Wave? What was the purpose of the class experiment? What have you learned from reading it, or what should others hope to learn by reading it?

Option 2. How was The Wave classroom experiment similar (and/or different) from what happened in Nazi Germany before and during WWII?

A full-mark response will use clear, precise writing in sentences and paragraphs (usually 300-400 words or more) and will make use of references to the book (one or two quotes). 30 marks - due Thursday, March 17th (posted on your blog). Comment here if you have any questions about this assignment.

Deleting Unwanted Comments

If someone leaves a comment you don't want on your blog, you can delete it. Also if you've left a comment you want to remove, you can delete it. Make sure you're logged in to blogger, then go find the comment you want to remove. Click the trash can. I'm very impressed with the quality of the class blogs so far, although I've seen one or two comments which are inappropriate and should be deleted (e.g. stuff with offensive language).

addresses & 3 required posts

Your blog addresses have been posted and appear on the right sidebar! Please test them to make sure they work -- if they don't, comment here with your correct blog address. By next week (ie. Tues., Mar. 8th), your blog should contain at least three posts:
1. Introducing yourself or your ideas (this could be based on the bio you shared with the class)
2. Your Snow Woman response
3. Your choice -- I would suggest either an update on the novel you are reading (from the library) or a response to "The Bamboo Trap," "The Story-Teller," or something original related to "English" (maybe a spider story or a poem or the results of one of your image wheels)
