Self-Expression- Monday- 4th period
The class met in the Danger Shop today, which was set up like a computer lab, with one for each student.
"We've been talking about using your words as an effective means of expressing yourself, and part of that means not coming off like a jerk," Kitty said, and wasn't that a fun way to start class. "Don't get me wrong. Honesty is a great thing, and sometimes you have to be the jerk, but in everyday conversation, when you want people to listen to your opinions and not write you off, you might have to work on how you put things. And sometimes that means dealing with people who don't agree with you, or who have terrible opinions, and your goal should be to at least try to come out of it like a normal person.
"Speaking of which, today we're using the Internet! For those of you who might not know how to use it yet, let me know and I'll give you a little tutorial, but I'm going to give you all an article. And while I don't suggest trying this at home, you're going to read the comments. It's pretty innocuous but I know for a fact that there's at least one guy calling someone a liberal idiot in the comments, because that's what some people do for fun. I don't know. Anyway, you're going to make up an account, and you're going to comment. You can post your own thoughts or reply to others, and no one else in this class is going to know who's who, so you can even reply to each other. Just try your best to say what you want and not be that guy who's calling people names."
