I'd like to share some of the student blog posts from the last few days.
Abir wrote a fantastic review of the The Stoning of Soraya M,. a film about the true story of an Iranian woman wrongfully accused of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning. Abir states in his post that watching the film was, "Perhaps the most difficult 114 minutes of film I had ever seen." Jack wrote about the Orioles and Braves baseball game. I wonder if Landon and Alex are looking for more contributors for their sports blogs, The Sideline Scoop? The picture below was taken by Brianna.
Brianna posted a few of her own pictures and wrote about her interest in learning more about photography. Brianna has another recent post where she shares her thoughts and ideas about using formal vs informal language when debating someone. I think many politicians should take her following advice:When you have a professional, academic debate or discussion, you make sure you don't engage in name-calling or hostile language.
Ruth wrote a post about her concern for the amount of debt accumulated by today's college students. Ruth wants to be a neurologist, so she would obviously have to go to med school. The problem, as she states in her post, is that in 2009, "The average debt of a med student was $157,990, and 25.1%
of med school graduates have debt in excess of $200,000."
The idea of our new blog assignment is to give everyone the chance to write about a topic of interest. Many students have responded positively to this assignment. However, others are not sure what to write about. To start off, I would recommend writing about something you are familiar with and can easily write about. Beyond that, it's up to you. Once again, here's the assignment:
