DeleteAre sports more important or more valuable than school? I recently heard a statement from one of my family members, “Professional sports athletes make more than any one of us and in some cases do not have college degrees, in this country it’s probably better to dedicate our children to sports than to school, so they can be successful and rich and pull us out of this middle class.” Construct a response in which you develop your opinion on this statement. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Are they more important than school? Why? Why not? Are they more valuable than school? Why? Why not? Maybe this link below could help you develop your opinion.

Have you ever thought about what you will do after high school? Do you have a game plan? Some may say go to college get a good education and try to excel in the area you want to be when you grow up. But, sometimes these don’t always work out; maybe you want to be a FBI agent but were not able to pass the classes necessary to be an FBI agent. Do you have a backup plan if things don’t go your way? What I want you to do is make a plan what you want to do and how you are going to get it. Also, make a backup plan just in case your first job doesn’t work out. What will your second job be? Maybe you might use this plan in the future.
ReplyDeleteThe Academy Awards, and many other organizations like it, were created to honor achievements in film. To win an Oscar is considered the highest honor in the industry, especially for whoever takes the Best Picture Award, which was taken most recently by “12 Years a Slave”. Although this was a phenomenal movie by the standard of the Academy, what was your favorite movie released in 2013? What was it that you liked about it? Was it Oscar-worthy in your opinion? Also, what is your favorite movie of all-time? Why?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever wondered what car you wanted in the future. Despite maybe not being able to afford it though, do you ever just day dream about one those exotic cars to be yours such as Lamborghini, Bugatti, Maserati, or Ferrari's ? These cars not only are craved by all call lovers around the world, but even the simplest of people who don't know any of these cars still want. Discuss what is your dream car? Why? Where would you drive with it?
ReplyDeleteOur blogs are always creative, but why not have an idea out this world that would be fun to write. For this weeks prompt I want you to write a 1-2 paragraph response to: What would you do in a zombie apocalypse. Questions you might want to consider are what would be the first thing you would do? Where would you go? Would you team up with anybody? What you worry most other than being bitten? Be creative with your response. Comment on another students post and response must be 1-2 paragraphs. If you would like you can talk about video games that might influence you thinking. Even books count.
ReplyDeleteIt is believed by scientists that your brain could remain alive for the next few minutes after your heartbeat stopped or when you pass-away. Since blood couldn't circulate throughout the body any more, the brain is triggered to scramble for oxygen and nutrients in order to stay alive naturally. And by trying to obtain oxygen, it causes the brain activities to function. Because of that, it is believed by many people that "dead" people could obtain dreams for 7 minutes, about re-living their life all over again. In this case, if you're in those minutes after you just passed-away, what would you like to experience all over again? And what would you not want to experience ever again? Provide a brief appropriate experiences to support your ideas. And if you're not currently reviewing your life after death(you're still alive), how would you change your future so you would enjoy reliving it again? Give explanations and reasons on how you would edit your on coming future to be the way you would like to see.
ReplyDeleteDinosuars, good or bad? These anchient creatures that roamed the earth millions of years ago were ferocious creatures that have never been seen alive by man. Would you want to bring back these gigantic creatures? Why or why not? Explain your reasons. What do you think would happen if they were brought back to life what do you think would happen and why? And finally what dinosaur would you like to bring back to life if you could. Be sure to describe them and explain your choices. There is a two paragraph minimum.

Color can be defined as the property possessed by an object of producing different sensations on the eye as a result of the way the object reflects or emits light. They are everywhere we go. There has been psychological research saying that colors can evoke emotion. For example, red is the color of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Different shades of red stimulate different emotions. Pink signifies romance, love, and friendship. However, dark red is associated with vigor, willpower, rage, anger, leadership, courage, longing, malice, and wrath.
ReplyDeleteDo you believe colors induce emotions? Give examples of what you emotions other colors may cause. What colors do you believe you represent?

There are many influences and many meanings behind everything in life; some can even come from cartoons. “I see now that the Circumstances of one’s birth is irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.” – Mewtwo, Pokemon The Movie 2000. Are we all put on this planet for greatness? Or is it what we do that defines ourselves and makes us stand out that determines who we are?
Do you think that everyone has a reason to be on this planet and it’s the choices they make gets them closer to that reason? Or do you believe that we are all born equal and what we do in life is what sets our path? Is life just a gift and some people actually appreciate it while others take it for granted? Use your response to think about what you are doing in life and how it will determine who you are right now or will be in the future.

Our environment has been damaged and polluted due to the exposure of harmful chemicals and human activities that go on around the world. For example, the ozone layer has been affected and it needs help to stop its problem. Many things in the world can be done to help our environment such as recycling, decreasing pollution, use less sources of transportation, etc. The more help received the better it is to live in a healthy world full of nature itself at its best condition possible. “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s needs but not every man’s greed” is a quote by Mahatma Gandhi. What do you think will exist in a world full of no more pollutants and the recovered ozone layer? What is your perspective on how we treat the environment as of today and from the past? At least a paragraph is required and the prompt is due June 15, 2015, include facts and information from any recent articles that can be found.
Imagine feeling a tapping sensation without knowing where it came from. Imagine hearing other’s words when you are alone. Imagine seeing the figure of your dreams and/or nightmares appear right in-front of you. What could possibly be causing such remarkable feats? This week, I am supplying you with an important question to ponder; are spirits real or just a figure of one’s imagination?
ReplyDeleteIf you believe they are real, try and relate to past experiences if there are any. Include examples of why or why not you support the claim that there is such a thing as the supernatural. Think outside of the box for this assignment and research people’s past ghost experiences if you need inspiration or guidance with where you stand. You can use the internet, peers, articles, images, anything you find to be a reliable source you can use to help you with this assignment. If you think you know your opinion on this topic make sure to support it with details and examples. Minimum of two paragraphs. Be creative and don’t have the same examples anyone else used already!

Robert Hall once said “A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity.” The quote states that friend is someone who understands you and give you help when you can no longer help yourself. It moments when you are in need or in trouble you realize who your true friends are, and how they manage to come to you and nurse back to life, and back to happiness. Have you ever had/ have a true friend? A friend who has helped you when you needed? One who was there when no one else was? One has taught you life lessons you shall never forget? Even though in life we come across friends who don’t have a good influence they still teach us something that sticks with us. In this prompt you will be writing about a friend who has heavily impacted your life, good or bad. Be sure to explain your story and what they did, how it affected you, and you looked at life before you met that person and how you look at life now.

As kids we dream and have fantasies of what we want to be when we grow up. Girls dream of being princesses and boys dream of being superheros such as Cinderella or Superman. As we get older we start to realize that there's no such thing as princesses and superheros, so we begin to think of realistic things we want to be when we grow up. Some of us say we want to be doctors or teachers, but then we become teenagers we begin to change our minds all over again and say we would like to be something else instead of a doctor or teacher. So my task for you is to write a brief 1-2 paragraph explanation of what you want to be when you're older. Tell why you want to be what you want to. What or who inspired you to want to do this in life. Once again write a brief 1-2 paragraph explantion.
The world is filled with places to go, things to try, and people to meet. Most people don’t get to say that they have really traveled to a more broad variety of places. Think of a destination or destinations that you would like to one day visit or maybe move to. What place would you choose and why would you choose this destination to travel to? Give reasons why this place is the best place for you to be in aside from anywhere else. Consider what you would do there and how you would spend your time at this new destination. Include activities that you would partake in, new things you would try, or new sights you would see. Be sure to gather a fair amount of knowledge on the destination you have chosen so that you may construct the paragraphs. As usual, a minimum of 2 detailed paragraphs is required. Be creative in your responses and don’t choose the same destination as any other student.

There are many options for a person to choose to do in the future. Some want to be a detective, some want to be an entrepreneur. There are many different varieties of jobs to choose from. But nowadays, since we’re older, grades and time has stopped us from being able to accomplish these things. It’s sad but it is the truth. Think about it. If you could still become anything in the future, what would you be? Why would you do this job? Is there something stopping you from doing this? If so, what could’ve you done better in the past?
In the new digital age, our elders are looked at as relics of the way things used to be. Most, if not all, have stories from back in the day, when they were in their prime. Our elders have stories about adventures, stories about their friends, stories of young love, or stories of mistakes, yet when they finally have someone to tell these stories to, nobody is there to listen. The assignment is to go to a grandparent or another family member and ask them for one of their stories. Write it down and share it with the class so finally these stories get told, and not just to one person, but to an entire group of people. This way the stories will live on and will not become a forgotten piece of history.
