Community of Learners

Today, I would like you to read through your classmates' blogs until you find something that makes you think, something that is thought provoking and inspires you to write (i.e. until you find something you feel passionate about). Then, cut and paste an excerpt (block quote) from your classmate’s blog into your blog and write your own thoughts regarding that excerpt.

WWII vs. Vietnam

Compare and contrast World War II and the war in Vietnam. Take into account the roll each war plays in Slaughterhouse-five. And discuss Kurt Vonnegut's possible opinions of each war, and how they relate to your opinions (tell whether you agree or disagree).
Some points to ponder:
- what was the roll of the U.S.
- how does history remember the conflicts
- how does popular culture remember the conflicts
- how does Kurt Vonnegut compare the conflicts
- discuss page 135 from the text

IMPORTANT! Today is the last to for you to make sure I have the link to your blog. Please check that the link from the mother blog to your blog works. If it does not please see me!

The Time Draws Near

By this Thursday you are expected to have completed a minimum of six well written posts, each several paragraphs in length. For today's assignment, I would like you to either work on past posts that need to be completed, or complete an on-line assignment that you were never able to start.

Make sure your blog:
-is well written
-is easy to use
-is insightful
-is interesting (reflects you as a individual)
-contains posts that make you proud

After, go to the blogs of your classmates and read and comment.
