Why blog? a word from Mrs. Anthony/Marblehead

I hope that many of you will take the time to read some of the comments of those who are also blogging with us. Afterall, that is what a blog does! It allows a group of people to share ideas and comment on what others say.

I have enjoyed reading the introductions by teachers/graduate students at California University. Students in Jamaica, New York have brought that part of NYC alive for me. (Before, Queens was just a place outside Manhattan. Thank you, Jamaica!) If you read what Marbleheaders have written, you will see that our community is quite different, isn't it? We have over 125 bloggers in Marblehead so they have been introducing themselves all over the blog! Colorado will be joining in soon, too.

We have this very diverse group who will be sharing thoughts about To Kill a Mockingbird. Blogs are set up for people to share their ideas and thoughts and for others to comment on them. So, take the time to read what others say and respond not only to the questions asked by the graduate students but also include your response to what others have commented. In other words, take the time to read what other middle schoolers have to say about the novel.
