Book reviews from your independent reading
Once you’ve finished reading an independent book, tell your peers a little bit about it and why they might want to read it. Be sure to include the title and author so others can check it out at the library.

Because of Anya
What would you do if you were Anya and you discovered you had alopecia areata? Do you think she should tell her classmates? Why or why not? Since Anya’s wig fell off at school, do you think she will return? Why or why not?

Blog Guidelines
Please do:
1. Remember that the Internet is a public forum. Keep your communication appropriate.
2. Discuss ideas and issues that concern you and your fellow students, especially as they connect to learning about the Global Explorers community.
3. Back up your statements with examples, reasons, or other supportive evidence.
4. Read through all the posts in a discussion thread before you respond to one (so you are not asking a question that has already been asked or repeating something that someone else has already posted).
Please do not:
1. Post your full name or others’ last names, phone numbers, home addresses, or other personal information.
2. Attack others. Agree or disagree with others’ ideas using reasons and examples to support your view.
3. Use language that may be offensive to other users.
4. Change font sizes and/or colors unless you are trying to emphasize a point. It’s the content of your message that counts, not the style.
