Grades 10/12 Instructions for posting comments at Schoolsville



Here are some simple directions on how you should post comments at Schoolsville:

1. Go to the bottom of the blog post and click on the underscored words that indicate the number of comments (to the left of the mail envelope).

2. Type your comment (or copy and paste your comments from a Word document) in the box that reads "Leave your comment."

3. Choose an identity by clicking the circle that reads "Name/URL." When you do, a box will open in which you'll leave your first name, the first letter of your last name, followed by a space which will be followed by your section color. For instance I might leave the name "JohnF blue"(John Fiorelli, blue class) if I were a student in the blue section.

4. Then click the box to "publish your comment." Your comment will not be immediately posted, but a message at the top of the page should say that "your comment has been saved." I moderate the comments, meaning that I'll check them for their appropriateness before I post them.

NOTE 1:it's always good practice to compose your comments in a Word document that you can edit (before you copy and paste into the comment box) and then save your responses for printing at the end of the marking period.

NOTE 2: unless instructed differently, comments should run a minimum of 200 words.

NOTE 3: sometimes, you'll be given a blog post specifically for your section color, so you must post your comments there, still indicating your initials and section color.

I can’t remember the first time I saw the movie The Sound of Music or how many times I’ve seen it since then. This is a movie based on a true story about Maria von Trapp in Austria during World War 2. Maria was in an abbey until Mother Abbess decided that Maria should spend some time away from the abbey and is sent to be a governess of the von Trapp family. Once there, she completely changes the family for the better and falls in love with Captain von Trapp and they get married. I think I fell in love with the movie when I was younger because I liked the songs and could sing along to them. As I got older, I appreciated the story more for what it was; a story about true love and even understanding that you never know what life has planned for you. Maria was convinced that she was destined to become a nun, when actually, she was destined to help the von Trapp family and become their mother. She really encourages the children to sing and express themselves and even convinces the Captain to be a little less strict. She teaches the children to express themselves through song and helps the Captain realize how much he missed music. If we listen to what Maria is saying, we will all find love and learn not to question life.
