Task for the day:
1. Go to each partner's essay on discrimination
2. Read the essay thoroughly
3. Answer "Which sentence/sentences did you think was/were the strongest and why?"
4. Identify 2 words that need to be stronger. Think of a word to replace the weak words if possible.
5. What exactly do you like about that piece of writing?
6. Are there any parts of the essay which seems to drag?
7. Are there any places where you lose interest or drift off?
8. Give suggestions how the essay could be made better.

Do this for each partner. if your partner does not have a blog, ask (pester him/her) for his written journal.

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

-- Rainer Maria Rilke 



Very apt quotation i think to use for the "prejudice issue"
