Blog Due Monday 8A.M.

I just need to say that you were awesome at the volleyball game today;  I couldn't believe how quickly you caught up.  We really gave West House a run for their money!  We'll be posting some pics early next week, so stay tuned.  Also, email me if you have some fun ideas for how to show our talents in house competitions.  Take care, Lorelei

P.S.  Camping this weekend...will not respond to emails until Sunday evening : )

Title:  Second Interview Questions

Label:  Interviews

What five questions will you ask your service learning mentor?  These questions should help you to learn about your mentor's background as it pertains to your topic.  Please clearly number these, starting a new line for every question.

In addition, please email me an essential question draft by 8 A.M. Monday.  Remember that essential questions must 1) be open ended, 2) take a stance, and 3) ask something that is worth a year's worth of research and crosses disciplines (i.e. make-up artistry might involve art, science, and sociology).  Most questions are worded, "What is the superlative like "best" or "most" + optional adjective like "successful" + a noun like "way" or "effect" of blah, blah, blah."  All together it's something like this, "What is the most beneficial insect to the earth?"
