C4K SummaryFor November

In my first C4K for November was a special assignment in which I got to read a blog post from Dr. Vitulli and Dr. Santolli while they were in Ireland. In this post Dr. Vitulli discussed a painting they had not seen in the art museum but that they found all over items in the gift shop. Upon further investigation they discovered this painting was only shown for a few hours a day a couple days a week due to its delicate condition.

The painting was of a man and women and it appeared to be the man leaving for war and the woman struck with heartbreak. It was by far one of the most moving pictures I’ve ever seen in my life. In this post Dr. Vitulli ask if we believed the painting picked up at the being, middle, or end of this couples story. In my comment back to Dr. Vitulli and Dr. Santolli I stated I believed this picture captures the middle of the story.

In my second C4K assignment for November I read a post from an eighth grader from Iowa in which he gave a very brief overview of a book he was reading called “The Outsiders.” In my comment back to Shane I told him that his description of the book made it seem as if it were a very interesting book and I that when I had some free time I would check it out.

In my third C4K post for November I read a post entitled “Make a Scene From History Not Boring,” and this post did just that. In this post the writer tells the story of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia with a lot of added ‘extras’. In my comment back I told him how I loved his imagination in writing this story. I told him my favorite part was when Napoleons men were attacked by UFO’s shooting rainbow lasers.

In my last C4K I watched a video about Ms. Yim and Ms. Nelson’s 4th grade trip to Montgomery. In this video the students told about their visit to Old Alabama Town. They told about they the sights they got to see and gave back ground on each of them. In my comment back to them I told them how neat I thought it was that Mobile was the first place to have a newspaper in Alabama because I’m form Mobile. I also told them how awesome they made Old Alabama Town look and that I was disappointed that on my trip with my niece to Montgomery last year we did not get to visit Old Alabama Town.
