The Simpsons
We watched "Bart got an F" from The Simpsons this week. Why do you think Bart was upset and actually cried when he actually tried to study and still failed his history test?

What is a blog?
According to Wikipedia:
A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog")[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.
As of December 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 112 million blogs.[2]

Welcome to Grade 9 English Blogger
This blog site has been created for your grade 9 English class. Every week, your teacher will post a question or video clip that you will be expected to write about. Some of your responses will be longer than others, but remember that you are being evaluated. Each response will be marks for its insight (sophisticated thinking) and the clarity of communication. You must post a minimum of one response to each question that I post. Of course, you are encouraged to write as often as you can. You will be given a mark out of 10 each week for your responses.
