Blogs of the Week -- Grade Nine

The first few posts by the Freshmen are up, and there are some excellent examples of creativity and of analytical thinking. Here are some of the gems.

In addition to some beautiful photos from Mt. Kenya, Kurt Gugliev-Shapiro's blog has a very interesting analysis of Persepolis. You'll see in this post a very detailed examination of Satrapi's writing and the source of her humor. Kurt chose his own topic, and the results are imaginative and informative. He also adds a song parody to complement the rest of the post.  Check it out here!

For a closer look at these two images, have a look at this link and this one.  

Do these images look familar? Well look again: They're original drawings by Michelle Woo, who created two extra pages to Persepolis. In them, she asks what might have happened if Marji's mother had been captured for her activities as a protester. Her blog is exceptionally well laid-out and organized, and the content is excellent. If you want to do well, follow these examples!
