Natures Wonders Part 1

Amanda was walking in her backyard. She sat down in the grass. She looked around. It was a sunny day, and her backyard was the most peaceful place in the world to her.She flopped back on the grass and looked up at the sky. Birds were chirping, butterflies fluttered along, and the sun was shining bright. Amanda closed her eyes. She rolled over on her side and eventually fell asleep. She dreamed about running through the forest with her dog, Todo, and then all of a sudden the forest got dark and the trees came to life. The animals became evil. She woke up. She knew something bad would come her way.

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?
