Natures Wonders Part 8

Amanda crossed her fingers as the chipmunk drank the liquid. All of it's fur fell off and in it's place took brown fur. His eyes turned white and then black. It looked at Amanda, and she looked back with wide eyes. "Yes!" She screamed, jumping up and down with joy. Amanda picked up her new pet and took it to her mom. "Hey, Mom, I found this chipmunk on my dresser this morning..." She told her mom the whole story. "So... Can I keep it?" She asked. "I...Uh...I guess so." "Yay! Thanks mom!" Amanda said. She ran upstairs to her room. She pulled her IPod out of her dresser droor (Don't ask) and put the earbuds in her ears. She sat on her bed for about 15 minutes, listening to music and playing with her chipmunk.

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?
