Once Meg, Calvin and Charles found Mr. Murry everything kind of seems to be going downhill, Charles is captured by IT, and IT is a huge brain that is very controlling, captivating you to be IT’s slave forever. Mr. Murry being behind the complex controls of the Tesseract, he manages to take them to another planet who they find these beasts that help them on their… Continue

Still on the journey to find Mr. Murry the three witches’ show the children “The Black Thing” which is pure evil, which is covering up earth. While doing so the children also learn of the tesseract, which instead of traveling from… Continue

I’m going to be writing about the exposition of the first three chapters of the novel A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. The book starts out with a stormy night with a girl named meg in her bedroom that’s in the attic. Meg is a younger girl (she’s kind of a tomboy getting into fights) and she is very frightened by the lighting so heads down stairs to the kitchen where you then meet her little brother Charles Wallace. Charles Wallace is 2 ½ years old but very calm and collected, allot of the… Continue

I have chosen the novel, “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L'Engle for my solo module three project. There are a few reasons why I had picked this novel, one of them being that it has to do with the future. The future is a very exciting subject to think about, it brings up many questions that are unanswered. Such as, what kind of other advanced technology is there? Is there any other life? Where can time travel really take you? I find myself wondering of what will be of the future and its so mind… Continue

Sounds great, I still haven't heard from Latiesha though! I hope she's alright! Should we work on getting a page to put all of our stuff onto? -Julie

Haven't heard from Latiesha, but what we need to cover where and who banned it, what topics in it were controversial/caused them to be banned, how it relates to the first amendment, and I think the three of us should contribute our arguments to on a page that explains our views on what we thought of it/ if it was or wasn't appropriate to ban. So I guess you could pick half of the topics to write about different pages and we'll find a way to put them up on the wiki, and Latiesha can type up the other half of the topics you're not typing about. If you need any help with the writing let me know. The slide show's going good, but it's taking a long time.

Hey Laura, how's the text coming along? What topics are you covering in your writing? Maybe we could split the subjects up b/t you and Latiesha and she could write half or something? I'm about a third done with the slide show, I'll get more work done on it today. Let me know if you have any other ideas for our project. Hope it's going good :)

I see what you mean now. You're not adding enough to the discussion. Remember it's a discussion. It should go back and forth, so you must respond a minimum of 3 times in each discussion forum. You'll need to make up for Discussion #1 which is now closed.
