Anyone know who said that? This is it...the LAST post about the essay due Thursday. And nothing I write is new - it's been written before...and will NEVER be written again...
The essay should embed your answers to the 6 questions - maybe not answering all of them. Remember the "Pennies a Day" review? You had 13 questions and used your answers in a statement - not ALL answers, but many of them. For YOUR Nation's Position Paper, emphasize what is important to YOUR nation. If it needs help in achieving one or two MDGs, focus on those. If it hates them all, explain why. I have proofread a few essay samples - every one was different, yet every one was perfect. Understand?
Tomorrow will all be about Colonialism and you'll have to show me your Africa "packet" from chapter 21 (?), I believe. I will also give you some last-minute instructions about what should be on the BACK of your essay (a list of your sources). On Thursday, I have decided to follow one of two possible tracks...
Both tracks will have you each write a statement about your efforts and achievements thus far (regarding Model UN). You will argue why you deserve more credit than your partner. You will also explain why your partner may deserve more credit than you. After reading one-another's statement, you'll give each other a point value out of 100 SHARED points. One person can earn 60, while the other earns 40. The catch is your grade will be out of 65 points. Someone will be short-changed, unless you both agree to 50 points and a grade of C (75%). If both are deserving of an A, I will determine that based upon your statements and my inquiries.
Then you will take a 50-question test.
Or there will be no test.
It all depends on how many more already-answered questions I am asked or annoying "what are we doing today?" interruptions. I have the test already entered. It includes questions from Darfur, Star Trek, Africa as a whole, Model UN, country locations, and even a little bit of econ thrown in for good measure. So, go ahead...make my day. Ask me questions that I have already answered numerous times. Fret over things you should already know. Or - simply pay attention, learn, do your best, help others, and be kind...then I'll let you go with no final exam. Deal?
By the way, Miss Sars might be this girl.

I'm sorry if you count this as a question you already answered, I am wondering how we will assign the shared points if one of the group members won't be there on Thursday.
ReplyDeleteDoes the girl in the picture go to SW? I don't think iv'e seen her. Checking MissSars's blog, she talks about being in the SW newspaper, or something.
ReplyDeleteAnd why does she hate lauren?
ok I have an idea for everyone!
ReplyDeleteInstead of asking Romo right away for a question you might have missed or are wondering about, ask your friends/peers/acquaintances!
Then he won't get all mad and give us the test, and you'll know what to do. Problem solved.
= ]
Dirty Harry, Clint Eastwood. That or Goodfellas.
ReplyDeleteMac-correct. Dirty harry.can you find his other quote I used?
ReplyDeleteAmanda-perfect. You make me so happy.
Joe-who does she look like? My 4th hour.
Annoying person-logic would say you should talk about it tomorrow...maybe that's why I posted it tonight.
the other easwood quote would be the "So, go ahead...make my day" bit, also from Dirty Hairy.
ReplyDeleteoh, and i agree with amanda
ReplyDeleteHey Romo since you like Amanda so much why don't you give us both an A...
ReplyDeleteGood idea huh?

ReplyDeleteI see it now!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great movie.
You should throw more of these movie quotes in your future blog posts.
temptousbynature... that's a stupid question.
ReplyDeleteI was kidding. Take a chill pill. We are alowed to joke around, Romo isn't that crazy.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't freaking out. But still who knows with Mr. Romo?
ReplyDelete50/65 It is then.
ReplyDeleteSorry about my earlier question, when I do not know what work I need to do or need to make up work I kind of blank on common sense.
ReplyDeleteHope this makes up for it:
Those of you traveling by plane over spring break probably don't expect too much of the airlines. This may raise the hopes of people on Southwest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivjybzdXVmI
I cannot wait for the speech about what lesson this is supposed to teach us. Honestly.
ReplyDeleteGo mr. Badlater! There's negotiation in EVERYTHING! Be fair, kind, and honest...remembering that "crazy" Romo has final say. It's good to be the king. There's another movie quote.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice way of grading things. (Though I think if you didn't include the option of the A statement you would get a lot of arguments and even more whining towards you. good choice lol)
ReplyDeleteokay one of my peers please answer me,
ReplyDeleteso romo said we have to have a list of rescources on the back of our essay (according to the blog) he said he would talk about that today but he didn't soo.. do we need one?? im confuzzled.please help
-utterly confused.
my advice is print a few copies of the thing, on one put the rescources on another don't (on one of the blogs he said we need a title so I'm just gonna make like 6 different copies of the same essay).
ReplyDeleteReally Mr. Romo? Really?
ReplyDeleteThat girl does not look like meeeeeeee!
