Online Journal Entry #20

Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. I guess it's time to get back to that daily routine of living we like to call normal. ~David Assail

I hope you all enjoyed your break. I think you must have enjoyed it as you didn't seem to spend much time blogging or perusing Animal Farm! Personally, I thought it was lovely to have some time off and--to tell the truth--I didn't do much work either! With Spring, comes longer days, warmer weather, and sunshine--some of my favorite things. What things are you looking forward to experiencing, now that Spring has Sprung? How will you spend your time outside of school in the coming months before summer. Besides, of course, completing those AWESOME Propaganda projects by Friday?!! :)
A litte Madness in the Spring Is wholesome even for the King. ~Emily Dickinson

Online Journal Entry #19

Since we've started reading George Orwell's Animal Farm, let's think creatively and try to imagine the worst. What if you were learning nothing in English class and beginning to feel as if you were being robbed of your right to a free, public education? So ... imagine how it would be if the students staged a rebellion and took over the classroom?! What kinds of rules would you make for a new, "Students teaching Students" class? And even scarier to consider, whom would you elect as your leader? What things would be great about this arrangement? What problems do you think would encounter under your new and improved system? Oh, the possibilities! :)
