TRANSENDENTAL QUOTES

You have been studying about transendentalism. Select a quote from the one the transendentalists. Copy your quote, write why you selected it, what you feel it means and select an image that relates to it to post to your blog.

Art Project: Copy your quote into an Appleworks document. Pick a font, enlarge to at least 120pt. and change to outline. Make a copy.

DORODANGO

Today you will polish your Japanese mudball. When you have completed polishing, take a picture of your dorodango and post on your blog. Please write about the process and your success or failures. If you could start over, what would you do differently? Do you have any suggestions for someone just beginning the process? How does this relate to transendentalism?

Also, make at least three comments on your blog roll.

WE WANT COMMENTS

The biggest disappointment so far of the blogging challenge has been the lack of response to any of our blogs. I received one comment so far from a teacher. Except for Bailey, I don't think any of you have received any comments. What can we do to encourage readers to comment on our post?

List some ideas in your post and try them out.

This week I asked you to comment on the blogs in your blog roll. Please make sure to complete this and to leave a "track back" to your blog. Also write about things you read about on the other blogs.

CREATIVE COMMENTS

Now that you have created a Blog Roll, you need to introduce yourself and comment to all of those you selected. Remember to comment about something specific. "Good Job!" doesn't really tell them what you thought was so good.
