Joan of Arc



Every week each kid would be assigned one of the people on the previous post's list. They would be responsible to find three facts about the person and put them in a coherent paragraph. This paragraph would be entered as a comment on the correct person's post . If the facts pass muster, the teacher would add them to the official post. 
The next week everyone would shift to a new person, and would find new facts not already entered and they would create a new paragraph. The procedure would continue as before in an orderly cycle.
