Welcome to Mr. Kabodian's 7th Grade Wiki Page (from 2007-08)      {Check out Mr. Kabodian's 2008-09 Room 207 Class Wiki}

Did you ever feel like the world was making us a bit too digital? Thanks to http://homepage.ntlworld.com/clivebillson/id310amp.gif for the use of this digital person.  On the one hand it's an ultra-example of personification; on the other hand, it's quite anti-human or at least de-humanizing. I'll call it digitification.

 

We'll be using this wiki as place to work together on our writing pieces, share our final drafts, and generally explore technology in English class.

This video clip, from Unitedstreaming, speaks to the role each of us plays in making a change in our world:  Armenian and Hispanics 

You can, also, put your Social Studies Reports on this wiki.

Ms. Jamie Slater visited our class and presented some remarkable information about Armenia and the village where our pen pals live.

Check out the info on the All About Armenia  page.

 The above VoiceThread is a work in progress. I began it as an exploration of what a perfect world would look like.  We're reading The Giver and we're discussing Utopias.  Students will hopefully be adding to this VoiceThread.

Mr. Kabodian would like to share some photos from his recent trip to New York City for the National Council of Teachers of English conference and National Writing Project conference.  You can find out more about his trip from his class website.
