Hi, Talk Science To Me Bloggers!
Today we made a few adjustments to the Blog Requirements for the TSTM Blog based on recommendations from Ms. Hill's and Mrs. Ramsey's 5th Period Science Students.
You are still welcome to post your thoughts and reflections based on your reading and discussion of Janisse Ray's Ecology of a Cracker Childhood or answer the discussion questions that I provided for you in the syllabus, but you can also just respond to the prompt I post each week OR other students' comments about the prompt. Have fun and engage keeping in mind the Term 1 standards and our dependence and part in the ecological cycle.
Prompt #1: Ray expresses appreciation and disdain for her heritage, in particular, aspects of the geographic location and the poverty in which she has grown up. Ray also expresses a necessity in "turning back to embrace the past" (32). When you are older and look back at your time growing up here in Athens (or for new folks in another region) what aspects of your "ecosystem" do you think you will remember fondly? With distaste? Can you pinpoint any one part of your current ecosystem that you believe may shape your future? Do you think you will want to "turn back and embrace" Athens later in life?
I think i will remember my yard and the yard at the house i'm moving in to. Because their so different and there both in Athens. One has a bamboo forest and the other has a bunch of pine trees and a little creek. And what I think i will remember is how that's so different.
