Constructive Comment on at Least 2 of Your Peers' Blogs (due Thurs.)

Check out the amazing blogs of your peers! There is amazing work started on these blogs, but before each partnership begins creating beautiful work, let's help each other come up with even stronger blueprints, quotes, and initial research. Ask your classmates questions to help them dive deeper into the content and chracters of their resilient individuals. Write constructive comments about their initial posts and their project ideas. Be CONSTRUCTIVE, not destructive. Remember, every house needs insullation/fluff (positive comments) to be strong and comfortable inside, but no house can be built on fluff alone. Be specific and helpful in your feedback to help your classmates build a strong foundation for their project with strong walls and supports throughout.

Quotes on Resilience (due Tues. 1/30)

For your next blog assignment, each partner is responsible for finding and posting a quote by one of your resilient individuals. The post should consist of the quote you chose followed by an explanation of why you chose that quote to best represent the individual. If your resilient individual is a family member or close friend who is not often quoted online or in books, you will have to interview that person and gather quotes from your conversation.

The explanation of your quote should connect your quote to a specific time in your person's life when they were resilient. I can't wait to read the wonderful quotes and analysis you post! Happy blogging!

5 W's and the Connection (2 posts, 1 post each)

The first two posts on your Resilience Cafe Workshop Blog should introduce the two resilient individuals you have chosen (from the past and from the present) and explain the significant connections between those characters. Each of you will write your own post about the resilient individual you researched: answering the 5 W's for the person you researched followed by a brief explanation of how your resilient individual connects with the person your partner researched and introduced to the class.

For example, Nicolette and Ekira chose Harriet Tubman and Oprah Winfrey as their resilient individuals. Nicolette researched Harriet Tubman and Ekira researched Oprah Winfrey. Therefore, Nicolette's post will be entitled 'Harriet Tubman' and it will answer the 5 W's about Harriet Tubman. The last paragraph of Nicolette's post will explain the connection between Harriet Tubman and Oprah Winfrey. Ekira's post will be entitled 'Oprah Winfrey' and it will answer the 5 W's about Oprah Winfrey and the last paragraph will explain Oprah's connection to Harriet Tubman.
