For your blog post this week, you'll need to reflect on what you've learned about the refugee experiences we have studied. For each story you were here to experience, explain one thing that is most memorable for you. Explain why this piece of the story stuck out to you and why it's important to the overall refugee experience.
The three stories we have experienced so far this year are:
If you were not present for one or more experiences, base your blog post on the ones you were here for. The Syracuse Post-Standard has published the beginning of a short story, written by Bruce Coville (of Bunnicula fame), and has asked its readers to finish it. Your blog assignment this week is to do just that. First, you'll need to read Coville's story starter at the link below:
www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/10/2017_bruce_coville_halloween_writing_contest_auntie_troll.html Publish the ending to your short story here in the comments to this blog post for credit. Your ending may be as long or as short as you see fit, however, you should be sure to resolve the conflict in the story and have it fit Coville's writing style thus far as well. **Extra credit: If you submit your story ending to the actual contest via email and copy (CC) me on the email ([email protected]), I will excuse you from an upcoming blog post. You can use your JD email account or a personal account. See me if you're not sure how to do this. Here are the directions to submit via email: Include your name, address, age, grade and a phone number where you can be reached on your entry. You can submit an entry via email at [email protected]. Be sure to include CNY Halloween Contest in the subject line. The deadline is noon on Tuesday, October 17. In lieu of this week's blog post, I'd love for you to spend the same amount of time you'd usually spend writing your blog on the following website: _ freerice.com/#/english-vocabulary/1491 www.freerice.com is a site that is devoted to donating rice to the hungry through the United Nations World Food Programme. What do you have to do to contribute to this worthy cause? Answer some questions about synonyms. I'd love for you to set your own goal for this week, but I think if we all plan to donate 200 grains of rice each, we'd make a great collective effort as a whole. How will I know if you've completed this week's blog task or not? To be honest, I won't! I'm trusting in you as a responsible citizen of our school community and the world that you want to do something to help others who are less fortunate than yourself. Take a moment and feel good about how you've spent your time on the blog this week! |
