Back Up And Running

Yes!

We are back up and running online. Thank you for your patience while we waited for some technological kinks to be worked out.

The Clustr Map will not work unless you access the blog from home (remember to get parent permission first).

Today we focused on balancing internal and external observations in our Personal Narratives. Mr. Coyote realized that he was using mostly external dialogue, and started experimenting with adding internal feelings or reactions to what was happening in his story. We discovered that when he balanced an external moment with an internal moment, the quality of his writing improved. From my point of view as a reader it seems natural to read about what was going on inside of the protagonists' head before the external reaction occurs.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will move our Colonial Day to January. Thank you for your patience! If you go to the wiki, I will post a few links to directions for projects that you could make and sell as a colonist as well as some additional links that you might find helpful.
