He had warned her about the book . Now it was too late. Now there was nothing he could do. Meg had remembered him telling her about the book, but he should have known she wouldn't listen. So, she snuck the book into her room at night. She quietly closed the door and tip-toed to her bed. She got in and turned on the bedside lamp. She heard footsteps and quikly turned off the light, pushed the book under her bed, and pulled the covers over her shoulders. He opened the door, walked in, and made sure she was asleep. He went back downstairs and straight to the bookshelf. But, where was it??! When she was sure he was gone, she turned on the light, got out the book, and opened it up. She was amazed! But when the leaves started coming out she screamed and then, she was gone. He came up and saw her, and all he could think was, he had warned her about the book. Now it was too late. Now there was nothing he could do.

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?
