Just dessert
The girl hesitated. Should she cut into the pumpkin? It was glowing a ghostly glow, reflecting her face against it. She slowly dipped the knife into the pumpkin, but at the last second, she stopped. Should I? she wondered. Or not? Her thoughts were tossed back and forth. The pumpkin grew brighter and brighter, almost seeming to blind her. Finally, she decided. She slowly started to cut into the oumkin, despite her misgivings. The glow streamed out as she cut deeper into the pumpkin. Finally, all the glow came out and dripped on her as she dropped the knife and screamed in terror, for the glow was deadly acid.

P. S. Uh, that's not how it's supposed to go. I'll fix it. Er… hope you liked my short story!…?

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may
be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
