In order to continue building our community of readers and writers, it's important to take time and reflect on each other. This week, your job is to spend time reading through the comments of ALL the blogs, beginning with our first blog introductions. As you are reading, respond to at least three different posts. Read carefully & respond thoughtfully. You may also choose to respond to posts on the "Writer's Page" or the "Books! Get In Here" page.

What are the themes in our lives? You are the protagonist in your own life story-what are some of the comments you could make from what you've learned from your experiences?
Or...What's a great theme from a book or movie that you love? Post the theme and explain using evidence from the text. :)
Stereotypes are widely held but oversimplified images or ideas about a specific type of person. These beliefs are usually based on what someone looks like or the group he or she belongs to. Commonly held stereotypes about women or men, specific religions or ethnic backgrounds, or other generalizations often form our first impression of someone.
Consider a stereotype that has been applied to you, someone you know, or a character. What is that stereotype based on? Is it accurate? How do you/he/she/it fit or not fit that stereotype? Be thoughtful in your response, as these types of discussions can easily offend or upset someone! |
