Each week, you are required create an original post and respond to two posts. These posts may be poems, song lyrics, short stories, Ted Talks, aphorisms, pictures, news stories, etc. Each Monday, a new posting will go up, and I will check to make sure that each student has responded to the previous week's post. What do you need to include in your response? That is up to you--what stood out to you? What moved you? What was your initial reaction? Do you agree? Do you disagree? Is there something you want to analyze? These are free responses, so the content is up to you. I am not going to set a limit on the length of the response--just something longer than a tweet and shorter than an essay. In addition to your own response, you must comment on two other students' response (you know, like dialogue or something).
Here are some comics on existentialism, passed on to me by Alex. I am going to post both, so feel free to respond/react/agree/disagree to one or both.

While skimming some articles to find a topic for this week, I came across the one below. I think you will understand why I picked it by reading the first two sentences. Please provide your reaction, agreement, disagreement, etc.
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/the_dismal_science/2015/09/income_inequality_rich_democrats_don_t_care_about_the_problem_any_more_than.html The participation trophy--good encouragement or the epitome of the "wussification" of America?
http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/08/14/339822646/the-npr-ed-mailbag-the-participation-trophy We talked about this a little bit at the start of last year, but as you enter your senior year, I want you to take a look at this material (maybe again for some of you) and reflect on yourself as a learner. Do you use a growth mindset? How can you change? Does this apply outside of the classroom? How?
