Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to the half term break!!!  I am sure you will all have a more relaxing time than me =-)

This week's online discussion topic is of particular interest to me, being a vegetarian, so I look forward to your comments!  Megan will verify the 2 presenters in class, and don't forget to upload your comments to the blog by Sunday so we can hear the presentation in class Monday.

Should we stop eating other animals? What are the moral, environmental, and health issues involved?

Have a great break everyone and see you Monday!

Hi everyone,

Hope you are having a great weekend.  Here is the topic for this week's online discussion.  Make sure you complete your comments by Tuesday so the presenters can read your comments for Wednesday!

Social networking tools have revolutionized the way people communicate.  Do the benefits of this technology outweigh the drawbacks?
Everyone must contribute at least 1 idea and 2 responses to the other comments on this topic.


See you all on Monday!

Online Discussion #2

Hello everyone,

This week's online discussion will be on the following topic:

Should junk food be banned from schools? 
Everyone should write an original opinion and respond to the idea of at least one other student.  Think also of the different perspectives of the people that might be affected by this decision.

All opinions should be included as comments to this post.

So, who will lead this week's discussion to be summarized in class next Tuesday?
