There will only be ONE (1) blog this week! (No School Friday)

April 11 is a day where people from around the world will be telling a story about why they LOVE their SCHOOL.  The hashtag (#LoveMySchoolDay) will definitely go viral.

For this blog, I would love to hear why you LOVE YOUR SCHOOL.

Use the hashtag (#LoveMySchoolDay) and TAG any people you would like to mention (if necessary).

REMEMBER - BE APPROPRIATE!!!
(If you have nothing nice to say, make something up!)

There will only be ONE (1) blog this week!

Your BLOG topic is FREE CHOICE!  You could blog about whatever it is you want, except what you've already blogged about!  You could go on a rant or you could simply blog about something important to you.

Be creative and write about something you feel important or something you would like to tell your audience. Write about something you are passionate about.

You must remember your audience.  It is not simply me (Mr. Katz) reading this blog!  

If you will be ranting about a certain individual, you need to leave their name out of this.  You could give them a pseudonym (example: Mr. Ed) or simply leave their name as anonymous.

Make sure your language is appropriate.  Do not go on swearing tangents and try not to blog about blogs :)

In the memoir The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, Jeannette is CALLED out by her teacher.

The teacher claims that people do not choose to be homeless, but become homeless because of other factors (drugs, alcohol, social services, etc.)

What do you think?
Can people choose to be homeless?



MEANWHILE, Father Emmett "Pops" Johns, who founded Dans La Rue passed away a few months ago.  He was the driving force behind helping the homeless with shelter and food.

Welcome back from Spring Break!

The city of New Orleans was recently in the news for all the WRONG reasons.

A restaurant in the city is doing an experiment where they would CHARGE customers
based on their race (skin colour).  White customers PAY MORE than black customers.

Do you think this is a smart experiment?
What do you think they are trying to find out?
Would you go to this restaurant?

Explain.
