Yearbook
5.21.2012
Objective: SWBAT...
1. Draft creative personal compositions that incorporate a variety of sensory details.
2. Make text-to-self connections using popular song as text.
One of the things that was most lacking with our yearbook this past year was text. We had a few solid captions but no real features. In service to future yearbooks I ask that those of you who have completed your All About Me spreads using yearbookavenue think (and write about) the role music plays in your lives.
What song by what artist best captures the 2011-2012 school year? Explain.
What songs by various artists do you associate with specific past years of your lives?
What musical artist whose career you have followed has demonstrated growth as a artist at pace with that of own development as a young adult? Explain.
Finally, either using images from our class library or your own personal images (school appropriate/shareable) construct a slide show set to/that mirrors the tone of a specific musical selection.

my found poem
My life in shatters
A trial on charges of second degree murder
No contact with my family and no acess to alcohol or firearms
My movements monitored electronically.
Life in prison, opened a new chapter in a case
No fairness , in the wake of the tragedy
Words of hatred, spins from the left and the right
Stand your ground,
Gives the benefit of the dout,
To me.

State Bill 24
The State Bill 24 states that it will increase the rigor in classrooms, increase the seat time and lengthen the school day and year. There are so many reasons why that plan wont work. I find the plan alittle disturbing. Well one: This plan might not be effective for all students.
When most kids sit for a long period of time they get irratated. They have to move around.
Two: A longer school year? What about vacation?
A longer school year is not a good idea because sometimes you need a break from school to go on a vacation with your family. It might also not be a long enough vacation to enjoy if the school year increases.
It's not a good idea. So I think the governor should sit down and rethink this plan over. He also needs to think about what some parents and students think about this. Most of all, he needs to think about the people who have tro teach the kids. Teachers need a break from the students sometimes. The summer helps them relax and prepare their plans for the next school year. It also helps them think about how they can improve their teaching better.

Education reforms
Well, there has been some pretty amazing topics in the news, but the most popular one now is on education reforms. An article I read in New Haven Independent called "Teachers Rally Collegues" [written by the staff of NHI] was an interesting article.
" Good intentions, wrong plan" was a line that stood out to me in this article. The reason it stood out was because I agree. The governor has good intentions on trying to make New Havens children have a better education but he is approching it the wrong way. See, to me, it seems like the governor is being too hard on some teachers. The teachers and students each have obligations to fufill. We need 50 -50 from staff and students and 100 from the parents. The teachers do their jobs everyday. Thats 50 from them, but what about the parents and students. The parents are voicing their concerns but they are not doing anything about it.If parents get more involved at helping their children in school, they will get better results

My memorable learning experience
A memorable learning experience for me would be last year when I went to the science expo. My class and I did a project about cuttle fish. I bought my niece with me that day. The reason why it was so memerable was because she got to learn and see things she had never seen. She also made some friends. The biggest part I got out of that day is that I should be more of an example for her because she's watching everything I do.
