Unfortunately, being rejected is a part of life. Some of us will be rejected from the high school we wanted to attend in the fall, some of us may be rejected by the person we like but who doesn't return the affection, and still others may be rejected by a group that they wanted to join. It's okay. While it might hurt at the time of rejection (and you are certainly allowed to feel pain, sadness, or maybe even anger) it doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with you! It doesn't mean that you are a bad person or that you are not good enough. It just means that you are not what that particular group or person was not looking for at the moment! That's all! You will find your place. Don't worry. Your BLOG RESPONSE today is as follows: In 6-9 complete sentences, tell about a time that you were rejected. Who rejected you? How did you feel? How did you deal with the feeling of rejection?

Our school has been chosen to participate in a nationwide survey this week. Only the Eighth Grade class qualifies because of some of the topics that will be covered in the survey. It will take place during classtime on Wednesday of this week. In the survey, you will be asked to give your honest opinions about various topics. All of your answers will be completely anonymous. Personally, I have participated in many surveys during my life. I don't mind sharing my thoughts and opinions if someone is asking for them and needs them for research. For today's Blog Response, please answer the following: 1. Have you ever participated in any type of a survey before? Briefly explain if you have. 2. Are you looking forward to participating in this week's survey? Briefly explain why or why not. (PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR YEARBOOK INFORMATION IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO ALREADY!!!)
April is National Poetry Month. Poet W.H. Auden was once quoted as saying, "Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings." Author and poet Edgar Allan Poe once said, "Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words." Samuel Taylor Coleridge, also a poet, said, "I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry, that is prose; words in their best order, - poetry, the best words in the best order." Now that we are coming to an end of our poetry unit (don't forget your video presentation is due in Google Classroom by Monday morning at 8:00am) I would like to know how YOU feel about reading poetry. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 representing not at all and 5 representing a great amount, how do you feel about reading poetry? Explain/Defend your answer.
