I had you consider a ROMOTHINK today after sharing the week's schedule with you. Wow - a lot of stuff happening this week - so be ready!
Today was kind of a "welcome back" to school day. I hope you remembered to "dig deeper" regarding problems and solutions - like how to deal with piracy out of Somalia. It's not about sending more warships to the region - stabilize the country and create other economic avenues for the people. I guarantee you piracy will decrease.
We also explored the concept of consequences and trade-offs. No matter how much good something may be, it has a cost. Are you willing to give something up for someone else's improvement? Would you trade away you video games, cable/sat, iPod, and/or internet to feed a poor family? How closely connected are we in our "global village" - a term we will be exploring in more detail this quarter. Someone should look it up and find a GREAT link - I'll give EC to the person who finds the BEST site.
There are good ideas and bad ideas...and bad jeans.
Oh, and some of you may be interested in the following:

Some of those things they said in the video was not what they said in the book, that annoys me
ReplyDeleteI wish if they had made HP into a TV series...one book per season, making adjustments to shift it to a later timeslot as you progress to allow for more of the sinister stuff in later books. Then run an animated spin-off on Saturdays for the tykes. Who knows - maybe BBC will be able to do it later...
ReplyDeletei might have to take a break from COD 5 to watch Harry Potter
