Blue ain't just a color....

HI guys!  Another reading blog here, this time on our new book.  This blog is due by Friday, February 22nd (in three more days!)

Here are your thinking tasks:
1)  Thinking Question:  What do you know about different art forms?  (Schema)
2)  Thinking Question:  How can you learn more about all the different forms art can take?  (Inquiry)
3)  Thinking Question:  Who is our resident "art expert" at Iveland and could answer your questions?  (Exploration/Investigation)

Do:
1)  Create a list of questions you could ask to learn more about different art forms.  Each person must develop at least two good thick questions about art forms to ask the expert.

2)  Schedule a time to ask the expert your questions in an interview style.  Note:  Think of ways you could give the expert your survey besides sitting down to ask directly.  What are other ways to communicate with someone and get the information you need?  Hint:  Use technology!

3)  Record the information in a neat and organized manner using the blog to post your questions and answers in an interview format.  (Not sure what that is?  How can you find examples?)

4)  Based on what you already know about our story, what art form can you infer that Kira is skilled at?  What did you read that makes you think that?

Note:  There need only be one post from the group with all of your names on it.  You may take turns typing if you like, but multiple posts are unnecessary.  Thank you for following directions.  Still not sure what to do?  Read it again!
