Our Products: Ideas for What You Will Create
Let's start sharing ideas for what we want to create. Let us use this for tossing out ideas and helping each other formulate a good idea. I will want to make a list of who is doing what. Feel free to work alone or in teams -- both blue and green teams. Use the comments for putting forth your ideas.

Welcome to the Revenge of the Whale Blog
You raised some interesting issues during our lunch meeting. You shared thoughts about racisim/the whaling industry/and other ideas. On this blog I would like some discussion points raised.
1. For students in Mrs. Gray's Whalers, write out a discussion topic with questions, and email it to me at nanthony@marblehead.com so that I can post it on the blog, and others can leave comments to your discussion topic.
2. When commenting on the discussion topics, always choose "other" for posting comments and use your first name and first letter of last name.
Here is a sample for discussion. You can comment on this and you can also create a new discussion topic that I will post.
Sample of a discussion point that YOU can email to me: The men who went to sea on board the Essex were experienced for the most part. Yet, when the boat was attacked, they stuck to the sea and did not try and locate nearby safety in a seaport. The men avoided possible places becausethey were frightened that they would be attacked by cannibals, for example. What are some examples in the book that show that these able seaman were perhaps naive or too frightened to seek safety? Why do you think that they were like that? They had navigation tools, didn't they? How does this add to the tragedy of this episode in history?
