The Gold Star

carls_jr_happy_starThere were some great comments on the blog last six weeks, but some stood out above the rest as particularly insightful, funny, well-considered, or otherwise interesting.

First, the Honorable Mentions:

Celinda Reyes, Tracey Chavez, Kristen Millsap, Kevin Pacheco, and Victoria Cadena all had fine things to say on the subject of MONSTERS!

Valerie Garcia and Ricky Rodriguez both had hilarious entries in the Lindsey Lit Limerick Extravaganza. And Ricky took the Gold Star award (brought to you by Carl’s Jr.) for the following limerick:

You teach but you constantly fail
Our brains you leave scrambled and frail
there are teachers quite few
that teach worse-r than you
Half your students end up in jail.

Fantastic work. Continue to check in with the blog and keep those amazing comments coming.

    Mr.Lindsey you’re GOLDEN STAR has me thinking… why should a golden star determine if our comment is good or horrible. what is a good comment? one that makes you feel emotion or one that makes you wonder and think? what is the purpose of doing a blog if you don’t put emotion to it. we wouldn’t respond back if we didn’t care…right? well the golden star is the emotional attention that you want for the site from us students. we, as students WANT good grades and some of us will go very far to get them, so the “GOLDEN STAR” makes us student starve to be the best “COMMENT” perosn to get that good grade. well Mr.Lindsey you sure know the way to get our attention. I’m being truly honest, I’m one of the students who are getting caught up with the site and I’m sure there are more student who have been as well. NICE JOB :D !!!

    I agree with Patty, there are many incentives which cause students to want to blog. Of course the most obivous is the need for a good grade however, the possiblity of revieving a golden star is a good form of motivation, due to the pride an individual recieves due to such an accomplishment. This situation certainly disproves the idea that too much of a good thing is bad.

  3. The “gold star” it probably has alot of people thinking why would Mr.Lindsey put a blog about this. We as people are diffrent we all like to do diffrent things and of course we all have our own thoughts about commenting blogs. To me there is no right or wrong answer. I think we should still be graded for what we have to say because our sayings and opinions are very important. I think everybody deserves a “gold star” it takes alot of “guts” to type what you feel.
