The Mystery: The Ghost Of The Titanic
It was a terrible night for Emma. She coudn't sleep while thinking of her test tomarrow. It was an essay on the Titanic. She closed her eyes for one minute before her alarm-clock rang. Before she knew it, she was walking to school with her brother Ethan. It was freezing outside. As she looked in her brothers cold eyes, she saw The Titanic, sinking. "Gahh!'' Screamed Emma. "Emma, you musn't act weird all morning!'' Said Ethan as Emma showed him the way to his first-grade classroom. As she walked to fourth grade, everywhere she looked, there was The Titanic. She closed her eyes and ran to fourth-grade. "Ouch!'' yelled Stephen, her enemy. "Sorry!" she said embarresed. As she walked into her classroom, Mrs.McConnel waited for her at Emma's desk. "Emma, your late. That's another tardy." "Sorry." said Emma sarcasticly. As she waited for Mrs.McConnel to start the test, she looked out the window. There it was, The Titanic, before her very eyes, sinking with a man looking straight in her eyes. "Start!" yelled Mrs.McConnel.

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?
