Woking together in a new way

In today's class we worked a little different than usuall. We divided the class into 5 groups; Front desk, researchers, journalists, teachers and designers. The assignments were divided like this:

1. Front desk, responsibilities: divide material, prioritize, approve material, give time limits , talk to all group
2. Research group, find material, and send to front desk, journalists, teachers and designers
3. Journalists, write blogs, and send to front desk, teachers, designers
4. Teachers, make rubrics with criteria for testing, write test questions
5. Designers, make Glogs and Photostory with material

I was at the front desk, so I didn't see all the material all the time, but I had a good clue of what it looked like.
The reason why we are doing this is because we are going to have a small test next tuesday, so we're making it now. It will be exciting to see the results because we are all making the test, and we are making it together. In theory we should all get straight a's, but I'm not so sure if that is what's going to happen.

The Road

In our social studies class we are reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. The book was released in 2006, and became a smashing hit and an international bestseller.
The book is buildt up with a lot of paragraphs, this makes it special because I can't remember reading any other books with that many paragraphs.

In the book we follow a man and his son, they are simply referred to as "the man" and "the boy". I think the author did this because there are not so many other carachters that we need to relate to, so he kept it simple. The main plot in the story is that the man and the boy are trying to get to the coast, the man is not sure why, but he think thats the best place to be. The world is destroyed and there's ashes everywhere, the book doesn't say anything about what may have happened, but I think there has been an atombomb or a meteor or something similar.

From the first pages and untill about the fiftieth, nothing special happens. The man and the boy just walks around, describing the surroundings, but amazingly it doesn't get boring. Im currently on page 53, but I'm reading all the time so the page number changes quickly.

This post is a work in progress, and I will update it often throughout the book.
