Rebound - Scott

Rebound - Scott

Scott is Sean's best friend from last year.  The two students had plenty of fun and plenty of trouble in grade 7.  

Sean wants a fresh start in grade 8 but Scott has turned to smoking and tongue rings they seem to be on different paths.

Do you like Scott? Why or why not?

Who is a bigger problem for Sean? David and his short temper or Scott and his smoking?

Will Scott and Sean remain friends like they were in grade 7 this year in grade 8? Make a prediction.

Post your responses and then engage in debate and dialogue with 2 other students.

Rebound Chapter 2

Rebound Chapter 2 - The Punishment

Chapter 2 was a eye opener to how we make judgements, use our bias, and make moralist stands while sitting at our desk.   

at our school desks we can be exceptionally self righteous 

1. In the real world had closely to Mr McCulley would you have responded to the fight?
2. Sean commented that people will see it "wrong" what does that mean and is this true?

Answer the 2 questions but also respond to 2 other people by commenting on there posts.  Ask questions and challenge their positions.  This should generate dialogue and bring out the real value in blogging.
