My name is Landon Darren. I love to have adventures. But this adventure is one I wish I never had. This is the story of how I became powerful. This is the story of my adventures. This is the story of how I died.
One day I woke up. I looked in the doorway, and there was a man standing in the doorway. A tall man with ripped clothes, soulless eyes, and a red, polished, stone in his hand. I looked into his eyes and he ran away.
''Hey! Stop!'' I said as
I chased after him. He ran into the forest and disappeared with a burst of bright light. All that was there was the red stone. I grabbed the stone and ran out of the forest to be greeted by my friend, Joey.
"Hey! Lando! Watcha doi'n?" Joey asked.
''I found this stone. It was in the forest.''
"In the forest, huh? Take me to where you found it.'' Joey said.

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?
