Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

We have all heard it before about judging someone based solely on their appearance.  You may have already seen this video of Charlotte and Jonathan.  If you have not, do you notice his weight and think less of him because of that?  If you have seen the video form Britain's Got Talent, did you have a pre-conceived notion of him prior to singing?  What did you think of Simon's comments?  Were they out of line?  Watch the video and listen to the duo sing.  What do you think?  Have a good weekend!

It's Time to Start Blogging!!

After much discussion, it is time to begin blogging as a class.

Thank you for checking out this blog. This is intended to be a teaching tool for my classes. Just a few quick rules. First, be respectful, tolerant, and positive in your comments. Remember that this is an open blog and anyone (including your classmates) can see what you write.  Do a good job!  Second, you must post to my blog to earn your full class participation grade for that day. We blog on many, but not all days. Thirdly, your comments must be grammatically correct and spelled properly. Fourth, have fun!  Now before you post, let's discuss my expectations for this activity in greater detail.

Tell us what you think of this. For this and all comments, remember to respond using a full paragraph (3-5 sentences).
