Week Two

This Week's Moderators are Sandy and Ms. Cox. Just a reminder of everyone's responsibilities ...

Moderators: You are responsible for posting at least once for each reading assignment. These posts must be substantial and thought provoking. You are also in charge of the blog for the week. You should be responding to comments, questioning, etc. The goal is to push and challenge your classmates' thinking and to keep the conversation flowing.

Non-Moderators: You must read and comment on ALL posts by Moderators. If you feel everything has been said, you must add a post of your own.

Please note, comments that simply restate other comments or what has already been said in class do not add depth to our conversation.

Finally, you can listen to author, journalist, and filmmaker Lawrence Wright talk about why he urges others to read Orwell:
