Challenging Imagination

As part of the Earth & Cosmos course work, students are adding prepared comments on different short stories to the ASMS wiki. Some are linked to Open Source blogs. The task is to show engagement with different texts by agreeing with or refuting the comments of others, by challenging points and adding comments supported by text references and quotations.

Remember that these comments can be viewed by the general public, so each addition needs to be in polished writing. Usual internet security measures are expected. Do not add anything that will identify yourself. Do not add anything that injures others.
Because it will be too difficult for teachers to work out which comments belong to individual students, ASMS students will need to hand in a “cut and paste page” of comments, with explanations if necessary. Remember to add your name to the ASMS rubric as you hand it in. Again, if you are absent for any of this work, you will need to find a time out of lessons to complete it.

They all had links at one stage. Sorry, I will look into adding them again.

Any chance we could get blogs put up for the 3 that currently don't? I just read All Summer in a Day, and I would find it interesting to hear what others thought about it.

Stories are best when you can read them, or have them read to you. Would it be possible to get these links working or sorted out somehow?
