Discussion Question # 6

This week many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday. We have discussed the traditions and history of Thanksgiving in class and how it has changed in modern times.

Thanksgiving is also a time of year when we have the opportunity to say out loud what we are thankful for in our lives. When we say what we are thankful for, we are allowing the people around us a peek into our lives and what makes each of unique and important.

This weeks assignment is to write about two SPECIFIC things you are thankful for and give a brief (which means short) explanation for each. After you have finished posting your own comment, I want you to comment on two other students posts.

example: I am thankful for my wife Corynne for many things. One reason is that she is always willing to try the food I cook for her, even when it is a new recipe and might taste like cat food!

I am also thankful for all of the students in my class. Everyday they remind what it feels like to be a kid, and they never cease to amaze me with their humor, enthusiasm for life, and opinions on everything from restaurants to recess!!
