Student Choice!

Hello, 5th period. Since we didn't meet Friday, choose one of the topics 2nd period and 3rd period generated. Just make sure it's clear which topic you are responding to.

Remember also that this is an online discussion; you can respond to others' comments, refer to appropriate websites, etc. I WILL NOT post responses that are too short or very carelessly written. Get it together!

Age and Dating

By Jermaine Brown (adapted):

In In the Time of the Butterflies, we see an older man at age 50 and older messing with girls as young as 16. In today's society, do you think that's okay? Or should people like that get a prison sentence?

This week, I invite you to see the different blog topics on the other sites. You can also post your thoughts. Go to fdatruth.blogspot.com to see 3rd period's topic and fdatalks.blogspot.com to see 2nd period's.
