Melissa's Gymnastics Act; Part 2- Melissa Voki Included!


Melissa had no idea where she was. She heard lots of voices. She felt soft leather under her. She smelled delicious cinnamon rolls being passed around the room. Then the voices stopped. The smell went away. Melissa opened her eyes. The room was empty. She looked at her right ankle. She gasped. There, on Melissa Nametogan's ankle, was a cast.
"Ah, you're awake," said a doctor, coming into the room. Melissa was startled. And seeing a doctor was making her nervous.
"Relax. Now let me tell you what happened," the doctor said kindly.
"You were on the floor, not moving when the ambulence arrived. There was blood EVERYWHERE, and there were people EVERYWHERE. And I am pleased to tell you that your ankle is broken," the doctor said all in a rush. Melissa couldn't believe it. Will she be able to compete in the next meet?


To be continued...

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?
