Is That a Duck?

From Adnan again. We watched the Looney Tunes short twice today...once without sound and once with sound. Interestingly, I don't think the sound added much, except for possibly distracting you from the imagery - which was full of stereotypes. Some of the stereotypes were positive, while most seemed negative.

After tallying and averaging the Peer Review scores for your policy papers, I have to congratulate Claire for having the highest score. On Fiday, everyone will get a packet of several essays with varying scores so you can see what we're looking for. It should help you for your Position Paper that will be due at the end of the quarter. I'll assign it next week when you are also assigned your country for the Model UN activity all 9th graders will be participating in next quarter.

Tomorrow will have you suffer through the Europe test. Then we have the WORLD test next week. After that will be major bodies of water and landforms. The last test of the quarter will be cities...you'll get that list next week.

No videos today - sorry.
