Amanda woke up the next morning to the sound of Todo barking. Amanda sat up and stretched. She ran out of her room and headed downstairs to the dining room. She grabbed the cereal box from the top of the refrigerator and got the milk. She sat at the table to eat. After Amanda finished she put the bowl in the sink and ran outside. Her parents were still asleep, so she stayed quiet. "Ahh, nice, cool air and a fresh breeze." she said. She lay down in the grass. Suddenly it donned on her. The dream she had last night. "What does it mean?" She wondered aloud. She wouldn't find that out until later.

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?
