Under the rug

Mr. Roberts took out the vacuum. "Time to clean the house." He muttered to himself. Suddenly, he saw a movement towards the living room. Mr. Roberts spun around. Nothing moved. "Must be imagining things." He muttered again. He started to vacuum the living room. The creature moved again. Mr. Roberts stared at the rug, holding a chair high above him. Suddenly, the creature lashed out on him.

Police explored the investigation. Blood was everywhere, with the man dead.

    AWESOME! I love how you built up the suspense in this short piece. Pop the picture in your post so that readers can see where this is coming from. Mrs.Goins

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?
