I am glad that you picked a topic that you are so passionate about because it shows. I’m also glad that you picked a topic that not a lot of people know about. I’m excited to read more about this topic from you. This is a current interview about modern ceramics. https://glasstire.com/2019/01/05/just-what-is-it-that-makes-todays-ceramics-so-different-so-appealing/

Amy commented on the post, How to Voice Your Opinion in Democratic Schooling
Jillian, This was a very interesting post and I think you were able to cover a lot of different topics.

Specifically, I liked when you said that “Students should learn the importance of…Read More
