Avatar

I finally saw Avatar. I am back with my credentials as a full card carrying American in my society. There's a lot of good messages about alternative ways to go through life. There's messages about courage and beauty. I won't write about the plot of the film, since everyone here has seen it. I will say that I really like the main character and his video logs. I hope that literacy learning for my students can be as interactive next year as it was for him. Especially for those boys who seem to be locked into their minds as much as that character was locked into his body. As a teacher, and now an Avatar junkie, I have to see myself as a native of the forest. Guiding and living.
