Carl slowly blinked his eyes as weird sunlight poured in to them. He sat up and looked around. I must be hallucinating. Carl thought. Everything was so square and pixel-like. He stood and he almost jumped 50 feet. He saw the weirdest looking animal of all time. It was a chicken... but it was so square. Its face was a square. Its wings were rectangles, and- "Wait, my eyes are messed up." Carl said aloud. It'll probably ware off... but it didn't. He adjusted his eyes to the visions, and turned and started walking. "AAH! Who are you?!" a weird square guy said. "C-Carl..." Carl said. "Great! I'm Steve. Nice to meet you." Sticking out his tan/brown/earthy/square hand-like thing. Carl stuck out his hand and screamed. "What?! What?!" Steve said.
"My hand... where is my skin? My hair? My normal UFO shirt?" Carl screamed completely freaked out. "OK, little creepy one, what the nether is a UFO?" "Um, nothing." Carl said. Then he shrieked as he saw a square cow. "It's a cow. What is so scary about a cow?" "Nothing." Carl said in his smallest voice. "OK, why don't you come over to my house... I made a cake." "Sounds good." Said Carl, suddenly realizing he was hungry. As they got to his square cottage with a rectangular door, Carl finally said, "Where am I?"
"Well, i thought you were not from here. This pixel land is the great-" Carl stopped him and asked, "Short version please?" "You are in Minecraft." Carl's jaw dropped. Minecraft. He was in Minecraft. Cool.

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?
