The Tale of the Flying Pig Part Six

Pig steered the rocket until it was hovering right above the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. He held his breath, as he stepped out of the rocket, and dived into the Great Red Spot. He immediately started collecting as usual, but then he realized that he didn't have enough energy to make it out of  Jupiter. Pig would just have to find a hotel and stay for the night. "Oh my gosh," as Pig sat in a seat at a hotel called the Ritz. "I could eat everything on this table," Pig exclaimed, his eyes almost bulging out of his sockets while staring at the food on the table. That night while he was sleeping, two big ogres roughly and clumsily grabbed Pig by the arms. Then suddenly, they took out two wands and pointed at him. Pig stepped on the both ogres foot and scrammed. Pig took both their wands and pointed them at the ogres. Unfortunately red witches came flying out of nowhere and  started throwing apples at him. One of the apples came too close to him and he accidentally took a small bite out of it.  1 hour later.................... Pig found himself in a dungeon full of all kinds of toys. Just then one of the witches ran and said: "Hurricane a coming!" Pig didn't sound surprised though, because he knew that a hurricane would hit once a hour. He tossed his hurricane protector over him and waited for the hurricane to hit.

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?
