Conspiracy Blog Discussions

In the spirit of continuing experimentation, let's try something completely different. Choose any one of the three suggested topics and contribute a post by bedtime on Monday.

The old criteria still apply: proper mechanics count, aim for quality over quantity (between 200-250 still feels about right), be concrete with your evidence (you might not have quotations but you can still be specific), and unless you're the first to write, reference at least one other colleague. Feel free to (respectfully!) disagree, as this can lead to some of the most interesting discussions, and of course feel free to check out more than one of the threads. All questions have multiple parts to help keep the discussion rolling; you don't need to answer every part (please don't!) and it's okay with me if the thread winds up digressing a little.

As always, do not post any identifying information; first names or initials only, please.

Select your topic to see the prompt and comments: click here to write about euphemism, or click here to write about the dynamics of the meeting, or click here to write about the artistic direction of the film.

Also remember to finish those literature circle books with five more notes for class on Monday. Have a great weekend!

Note: If you didn't see a majority of the film, keep reading. I'd like to ask those of you who didn't see enough of the movie to write a final post for one of the threads, summarizing the discussion that took place. We can talk details on Monday since you'll need an extra day to write after the conversation has closed.
