IV – 10/31/2012

Well, it looks like we won’t be able to use the webpage that we started yesterday – we are going to use www.bucketlist.net. Create an account, but you don’t need an e-mail address to use this one.

We also finished the BucketList pre-writing from yesterday. The questions aren’t long, but they do make you think. Be prepared.

Make sure that once you create your account, find and join the tribe “Vistas” so that I can give you credit for your list. Make sure that your Bucketlist has at least ten meaningful items on it – these are BIG things to accomplish – not a to-do list for the week. This will be due on Friday.

After this, Riley had us listen to BOC’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper.” We discussed it and answered three simple questions in the discussion board.

Riley then gaves us the intructions for the Obituary, which is our first major grade. Instructions are in LMS – but make sure that you choose an OLD age – nothing young. That’s creepy. Also, don’t focus on your death or how you’ll die – that’s not the point of the activity. The point of the activity is to prove how you “care diem’ed” your life.

Riley’s sample obit is up there for you to read. For examples, check out the Blog of Death and examples from former students.

Tomorrow, we will read “The Dash”, look at the Blog of Death, write our obituaries, and create a word cloud of our lives to print in color.
