Response to Project

Frisch leads sounds like it is going to be a unique opportunity to develop my knowledge in a new and interesting area of study; that being said, I am not thrilled about the prospect of writing a substantial research paper during my senior year of high school. This is my first time writing a blog, and I am by no means a Bloggist- I could barely figue out how to log into the blog making website. You would think that as editor-in-chief of an online newspaper -FrischOffthePress- I would know a thing about blogs, but you would be mistaken. I know nothing about blogs or internet klans but I am committing to improving my blogginess and I think this project will be an excellent opportunity to do that. I think the best place to start when learning a new thing is to see what that thing actually is, so I went to Dictionary.com and looked up blog. "a Web site containing the writer's or group of writers' own experiences, observations, opinions, etc., and often having images and links to other Web sites." Going through this definition I think I'm on the right path. 1. I am the writer (hence I am writing this blog) 2. I have told you of one of my experiences while describing my experiance logging on (or trying to) 3. I gave an observation about educational disparity 4. My oppinion is that I really don't want to do work my senior year but if I have to I'm going to make it count 5. here's an image (It's a city made of toothpick)
6. I linked to FrischOffthePress which is another FANTASTIC website I think I've really covered all of the bases of a classic blog and look forward to updating you on my project's progress.

  1. Why the toothpick bridge? Why not a toothpick cemetery, say?

  2. The bridge represents the interdisciplinary nature of the project. A cemetery would imply that the learning we do is put in a box and buried to rest in solitude; a bridge on the other hand shows that everything is inter connected and each "island" of information is contributing to and sharing with the other.

    1. That's brilliant. I didn't realize how you could weave creative writing into this assignment as well.
