JUST A MINUTE
Some interesting topics for Just A Minute. It is an activity that as an English teacher I have found very fascinating. The participant must start by repeating the topic, then continue speaking on it for a minute without pausing ( a minor pause for breath is allowed, the decision lies with the moderator), without repetition of words, ideas, and without stammering, or making grammatical errors. Remember, imagination is the key.1. Please hang in there.2. She walked in like a whirlwind and blew my senses away.3. The bus was travelling too fast to stop.4. I saw a lamb following Mary to school.5. A cloud of dust blew off my hat, and I was left hatless.6. Honesty is the best policy.7. I saw him read the letter and then his face turned pale.8. The house was in complete darkness and I saw all the doors open.9. I had been waiting for food delivery to arrive and...10. When I saw my neighbor's house being broken into by burglars...11. I wandered about the city hall all afternoon and there wasn't…See More

Hi Varnika, Thanks for your interest in our blog. I do apologize, but the address for the site is cgagnon.edublogs.org not cgagnon@edublogs.org. Thanks again.
The 6th graders at Chichester Central School in Chichester, New Hampshire (USA), would like to invite you to participate in our blog. We have created a blog, which we hope will allow us to explore varying diets from around the world. Our goal is to understand what other country’s diets consist of and what they consider to be healthy. Here in New Hampshire, we eat a lot of seafood and lobsters as we are so close to the Atlantic Ocean. We also grow and eat fresh corn, apples, strawberries, blueberries and even pumpkins. If you are interested, please visit our blog at cgagnon@edublogs.org and respond to the “World Diets” page. If you respond, it would be helpful if you could include which country or area of the world you are responding from. If you are not interested, it would be much appreciated if you could pass this along to a friend or colleague that may be.
We here in New Hampshire look forward to your response. Thanks

I'm sending out messages to everyone I know right now, and this classroom20 network is no exception. (I've also sent this out on other Ning networks you may be a part of.) My name is Marco Morales; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham,MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. I found you when I searched for middle schools on classroom20, and since our project is specific to middle schools, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2008, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win an idea competition on Ideablob.com You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975. We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Marco Morales
