So, what would you like to see at our blog site? Be ready to help manage the site during the course of the year, but here's your direct chance to let us know of any neat ideas for topics, layout, images for the blog. You can also use this 'Suggestion Box' for ideas you have for class activities; for example, a different way to do seating arrangements. For this post, you can identify yourself as 'anonymous' or create a nickname for yourself.

Although the "random thoughts" post is not specific I think it is a good idea to talk about 8th grade, middle-school, and life in general.
Maybe like a poets corner or something? Where people can express their feelings or thoughts or ideas through poems or lyrics. Or they can just post poems or song lyrics that they came across that seem to have a 'hidden meaning' or something. Just a thought.
I agree with Robin, we should have more discussions about things that happen in real life and see if we can connect anything to what we are doing in class.
It might be helpful to students in general to create a direct link from your ISB webpage to this blog's homepage. Hopefully, that can help kids who have trouble accessing this blog, as well as those in other Humanities classes
Thanks for the suggestion, Rahul. Our class blog link is now at my page at the ISB website.
Mr. Romary's class blog is also linked (and soon-to-be, a Grade 9 class blog).
In addition, several other websites related to Humanities are linked at my ISB website page, including one of my favorite websites, National Public Radio - at which you can read and listen to lively stories about a wide range of topics - and people as diverse as Aung San Suu Kyi, Bill Gates, J.K. Rowling and Kanye West!
The other day i was watching a moviwe That takes place in the United States around 1981 and it is about a football team that has been mixed up with whites and blacks and at first they hated each other but with the time they became together and won every single game they played, they treated each other like brothers. and i thought it is a good connection with the class because it has examples of all the outcome satatment in the class, one man starts ,making the difference to change the team then the team changed the town and the town the country, i really think we should watch it since it also relates with the apartheid. In one of the scences a white guy and a black guy have a fight because the black guy placed the poster of the black runners rising their fist with the black glove on which we also saw in class. It is a really good movie and based on a true story 'Remember the titans'
