Lost Dog

       
      It was a dark and stormy night.  A boy was walking down the street in his wet, cold, yellow raincoat.  He didn't see anyone for miles and miles.  Just thten he saw a dog.  He said, "Come here girl."But the dog didn't come. 
He said, "Come here boy." The dog came.  The dog had no collar.  However, the dog had a note in his mouth it read,  Please find my dog, Willey.   -Maybeth [Donna Ralph's little girl.]  The dog turned his head, the boy heard a rustle and saw someone across the street."Hello, who's there? said the boy. 
My name's Donny."  Donny saw the man digging in a trashcan and saw a cart.  He was a homeless man. 
     "Donny, where are you?" said a dad.  
     "Willey!"  said Maybeth. 
     "Oh, is this your dog?"  said Donny. 
     "Yes," said Maybeth. 
     "Donny, there you are." said his dad. 
     "Sorry I ran off dad, I just needed to blow off a little steam, and I found a dog."  said Donny.
     "That's my dog."  said Maybeth. 
     "Ok, here you go Maybeth, lets go home Donny."  said his dad.     
     "Ok,Dad.  said Donny.  Bye Maybeth." 
     "Bye."

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?
