Assignment 4

Well I tried adding audio to my blog whether or not it worked is the scary part. I had fun doing it, but like I said I hoped it worked. Only time will tell.

Update on the library book club blog! The book club is going great and the kids love the idea of the blog. Not only can they have discussions about the books the club is reading, but they also can talk about other books they are reading and try to encourage other students to read them. I am so glad that their are kids out there that still enjoy reading a good book. A lot of kids today will not even pick up a book. They look for the easy way out and find the cliff notes to take test.

The Use of Blogs

I started a book club at the high school last week. Many of the kids said they couldn't make it to all the meetings. So I decided to use a blog where the club members can get online to discuss books and ask questions. I figured this would be a perfect time to implement what we have learned in class. I will keep you updated on how it is going.

NFL NEWS

Hands down the best team in football this year have been the Chicago Bears. They have a great defense the literally kills everybody. Teams have not been able to move the ball on them and when they do its not for to long. Their offense has gotten a lot better to. The key to their offense has been the rise of their quarterback Rex Grossman. For the past couple years people have said he was going to be great, but he has suffered through some tough injuries. However, this year he has arrised as an emerging star in the league and will only continue to get better as the year goes on.

Tough Loss!

Yesterday my 8th grade football team played their butts off only to suffer another loss. We are now 1-4 on the season. I felt bad for my kids they really wanted that game bad. I am extremely proud of them, they never gave up and fought tooth and nail to the last second. Today at practice they showed up eager to work even harder than they have to get better. Usually when you lose a couple of games kids sometimes give up. I'm proud to say not these kids.

The Cleveland Browns finaly one their first game and yes it was probably against the worst team in the league, but a win is a win.
