Welcome Back!
Sunday, November 25, 2012
Students in Mr. Nekrosius's humanities project groups recently researched, wrote, and designed online newspapers about the Salem Witch Trials. To learn more, there is a link to the newspapers below.
For Mr. Nekrosius's humanities classes, here is your blog post assignment:
Choose ONE of the online newspapers created by Mr. Nekrosius's project groups and spend twenty minutes browsing through the various pages (you can find links to the two newspapers here). When have finished reading the newspaper, post a comment in which you write the following:
1.Three things you learned about the trials and/or the people of Salem--be specific, and be thorough.
2. A detailed connection between the events of Salem and the events you studied for your project (or, if you are in Mr. Nekrosius's project group, a connection between something you read and something you wrote for your own article.)
3. One question for an author or one of the designers of the newspapers.
(If you are in Mr. Nekrosius's project groups, you should post on the other class's newspaper.)
Remember:
You should include ONLY your first name and your class period (NO LAST NAMES) at the end of your blog post.
Also, remember to be positive, constructive, and detailed in your responses! Your posts are due Thursday, November 29th.

First Blog Post Assignment: The Box
Think back over everything we have read so far for this unit ("Theme for English B," "American History," "Alone And All Together," the song "Little Boxes,""Sylvia's Story" from National Public Radio, and "Crickets"). Your task now is to write and post a comment in this forum in which you describe a connection between TWO of these works, focusing on the role of "the box." Think about how different characters face similar or different challenges. Think about similarities or differences in the kinds of disguises characters wear. Do you think these characters will escape from their boxes?
Once you have made a connection between two works, post a comment describing that connection. Make sure to mention specific characters/narrators, and to be clear about how the "boxes" they experience are similar. Your post does not have to be long; four or five sentences is plenty. You should feel free to respond to your classmates' posts, as well as to ask your classmates questions.
*** Remember to use your first name, "Nekrosius," and your class period number when you sign your post (do NOT put your last name). Use the "anonymous" identity, and remember that after you click the "Publish your comment" button your comment will not appear until after I have approved it as the moderator. Also, if you choose to respond to what another classmate wrote, please do so in a respectful manner.
