Under the rug- The mysteries of Harris Burdick

Under the rug- 
The mysteries of Harris Burdick




Two weeks passed since it happened again.

     The family was eating dinner. They where all fine until they heard it. A book fell off the shelf. Mother said,"Charles, go see what that was." Charles, (the father), got up to see what it was. "Honey, its just a book, we are fine." Said Charles. He regretted saying that. He saw that familiar bump under the rug that had dissapeared  two weeks ago. Last time Charles didn't say anything about it. This time it was moving faster and straight for him. "Charles, come back!" yelled mother. "Hold on sweetie!" said Charles in a faint whisper. He quickly grabbed a chair and swung it over his head. He was just about to hit it. It got to him first. "AHH!" Charles looked down. His leg was covered in blood. He tripped over the wire to the lamp. After that, it was quiet.

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?
