Classwork Friday, Nov. 12
Several things. Write up on paper and give to the sub. Do not email this to me this time.
1. You will need to register for #1 when you click on the first link; don't worry, it is easy and pain free. Look at the way this news game is designed. Does game help to understand the issues?
Remember, we are each going to make the alcohol-safe public service announcement. This will help you understand some of the issues. It might also spark a way, an angle on the way to produce this for the competition.
So, click on this link. Drinking Age Debate | Play the News | Impact Games
2. Click here: Obama's candid side Read article and watch the attached video.
"The Obama administration has expanded the use of new media at the same time as it’s freezing out old media.” Explain what they mean by this. Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?
3. Click here for Jewish rapper You know, Sean Combs sidekick, Shyne.
"All these rules, rules, rules," he said with his hand on an open page of the Talmud. "But you know what you have if you don't have rules? You end up with a bunch of pills in your stomach. When you don't know when to say when and no one tells you no, you go off the deep."
Write a reflection on this article. What do you think about redemption or about cultures mixing together (strength or weakness)? Is this guy for real?

Nov. 10 -- Classwork
Click here: The real cost of your cotton shirts
Make sure you understand the policy
Click here for what is broken
Think of three different things around school or in your daily life that are broken like Seth Godin says in this piece . . . signs, commercials, school policies, dating habits, whatever . . .
Click here for words from a very wise man
What can you say about the wisdom and empathy of this great man? You noticed that he is a Holocaust survivor, didn't you? How can he be so good, so positive, so wise? What do you think of his message and why?
On Friday we will begin the work for the human rights contest that you read about last class. You will also have a quiz on the readings I have given you while I was gone. If you were absent and have not finished up all the work I have given you, I suggest you read the blogs and get it to me. If you were in class and elected not to turn the work in, you will suffer a grade reduction. No exceptions.
Ms. Greer
p.s. I will be glad to be back with all of you.
