Naughty or Nice

It's time for you to find out whether Santa thinks you've been naughty or nice this year. In order to obtain a bit of blogging extra credit, go to the web address below, then type in your FIRST NAME ONLY and take the short quiz to find out what Santa says about you. Once you have the verdict, copy and paste it into a comment to this blog and then elaborate on how Santa's verdict applies to your life this year.

Once again, your response should be posted to THIS BLOG as a comment. Try to make your explanation at least 100 words, but feel free to elaborate at length, as this extra credit post may gain you up to 10 extra points. (If you choose not to take advantage of this opportunity, you deserve coal in your stocking!)

Here's hoping you're not on the "Naughty List"!!

Talking About the Movies

In your last post to this blog, you wrote about why you really enjoyed a particular movie. Many of you used excellent detail and examples to explain your choice vividly. Now it's time to check out your classmates' reviews.

1. Browse through the posts from the last assignment: Establishing Your Voice: Movies.

2. Find at least three people who wrote about movies that sound good and leave them a comment that tells them why their post caught your attention. (Remember, you will be graded on the content and quality of your comments!)

3. Post a comment to this blog telling me which three people you commented and why. Remember, this is a 25 point comment, so make your reasons specific... and proofread.

Who knows? If you find some good picks, you might even rent a video this weekend!
