Tell us what you've read that you would recommend to others. Start with the title, author and genre. What would you like to tell about the book to encourage others to read it?

How much influence does peer pressure have on your behaviour? It can be pretty lonely when you don't have any "friends" to call your own. How far would you go to please your peers? Where do you draw the line? What are your limits?

To blog is to log your thoughts. To reflect and comment regularly. It is different from a chat room. When we participate in a blog, we use full sentences and spell out our words in English. Our comments are evidence of how well we participate. Be kind: Use the rules of purposeful talk. Take care of your space. Be mindful that this is a NYC Department of Education sponsored blogspace...(<a href="http://blogs.region4.nycenet.eduhttp://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/communities/mbrownstone/archive/2006/05/20/109.aspx">read more</a>)<img src="http://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/aggbug.aspx?PostID=109" width="1" height="1">mbrownstonehttp://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/members/mbrownstone.aspxhttp://blogs.region4.nycenet.edu/communities/mbrownstone/archive/2006/05/20/108.aspx2006-05-20T16:40:00Z2006-05-20T16:40:00ZThis blogspace is for our advisory to go online to share our readings and ideas in order to extend our classroom discussions beyond the limits of the 35-minutes of advisory and the four walls of Room 402. When you are here, please follow all our school's rules: Participate fully. Be kind. Take care of our space.
