The Four Elements: To...?
Jay's horse went clippity cloppity. Everyone swayed to the horse's movements. Oliver was still bleeding, but he had managed to ride along with them. His left arm wasn't his sword arm, so that was good. Blake was wearing the Flame around his neck. The Flame was an orangey-red shade. It glittered in the light. Hmm... Jay thought. I wonder what we're going to go next... "We're going to go meet long lost explorers Silvia and Borne. Last time we tracked them, they were in Lorandia." Jay smiled. It was his hometown. It would be good to see his family and friends again. Oliver continued. "We will go east." Everyone started to follow Oliver. Oliver's arm had stopped bleeding. Oliver talked as they were riding. "The Wind is supposed to be on a pillar on top of a mountain, Mount Makoniji, to be exact. Cutting through Lorondia is the best way and the most efficient way to get to our destination." Everyone nodded. They ventured forth.

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?
