Hippie Movie wit Pen and Teller....4-16/ May 30

I. N/A

II. The main thing that we did today in class was watch this video by Pen and teller where they discuss issues like global warming with people like scientists and hippies. It was funny because it seemed like people disproving global warming were credible, while the hippies did not have a clue about global warming and stuff, and wanted to ban h2o, aka water. Then we had a really boring discussion about the video that put me to sleep..zzzzzz! Then we watched this good movie about the hutus and tutsis in Africa. It was the same story as in Hotel Rwanda. It is a very good movie so far.

III. I learned that the commander of those UN forces was wrongly portrayed in Hotel Rwanda because in that movie he is seen more as strong and brute, but in real life he is some little canadian.

IV. I would like to know how many people died in this african fighting

V. My personal opinion is that we should never have a long discussion like the one on the pen and teller video again. The reasoning is because the same people kept talking and saying the exact same things, so that equaled hella-boring. I do not personally like to sleep in ethics.

KOM AT ROBIOUS....4-15/ May 26

I. Well...vegetarians do not eat meat and vegans wont eat any food that comes from animals like cheese or milk ....can u say stupid?

II.-VI. I left class after a few mins so nothing happened while i was there.

Super Size Me Finale....4-14/May 24

I. I found out that as long as the nuclear plant has been inactive, it is okay to blow up and causes no health problems.

II. Today we started out with no daily report. Then the lovely Bunny Merritt payed a visit to our Ethics class. She talked to us about the senior night and got us to sign up and bring food and drinks. She made it pretty clear that she would give any amount of enrichment points and hours. I signed up to bring steak kabobs, coke, and bottled water. I needed to get three more enrichment points. Then something excited happened....dum dum dum....we got to finish watching my very favorite Super Size Me movie. In the end, he barely finishes the diet but he does, and he gets to have a McDonalds party, lucky him! Then it said it took him like a whole year to lose all the weight he gained and get back to normal. This was mos' def' one of my favorite things of the year. Then Couillard said we must do the wksht for homework.

III. I learned that McDonalds can make you very sick

IV. Um....I want to know what the diff between vegan and vegetarian is

V. This movie has encouraged me to no longer eat any fast food because it is killing me slowly. But atb the same time, I know I cant do it, because i said that last year and it did not work.

VI. Journal and Wksht

Alex's Daddy Talks.....4-12/May 18

I. Alex's Dad will talk about marketing

II. The beginning of class consisted of a daily report by quigz and Kelly. I really can not really remember much about their daily report. All I do remember is that Eric said how some kind of rabbit that is extremely small is on the verge of extinction. Its called a pygmy rabbit, and unfortunately the only male one died yestarday, so there are only 2 females left, obviously meaning that can not reproduce. I will really miss the pygmy rabbit! Then we got to be photograhed by Lindsey Morgan and Tori Brock. They made us put on these black shirts and go in a dark room and they took our picture. I was so excited when we had this "photo shoot" because I am secretly a high class european model. I would have been even better off if they had a fan during pictures. I could have let my hair fly in the breeze and look pretty sweet. I gave 'em some fantabulous poses. Then when photos were all said and done, Alex's daddy talked to us about marketing. He is the VP in charge of marketing of a chain of hospitals in the area. One main thing he talked about was how certain companies made blunders in marketing. The funniest was definitely with Barbie breaking up with Ken. I remember when I heard that news, and I cried. Then he said how coke messed up with changing their formula. It was a very interesting talk

III. I never knew that a thing existed called branded house and house branding, those were very interesting terms.

IV. I would like to know what the very original coke had in it.

V. I felt that Mr. Foust's presentation on marketing was very cool. It opened my eyes to the field of marketing, and gave me a taste of what it is about. I know feel that marketing is the achilles heel to a company.

VI. Journizzle and Quizy-Wizxy

Cornell Notes are Back!!!!!!!!......4-13/ May 22

I.Coca-Cola used to have crac-cocaine in it....hence the name Coke!

II. We started off class with the usual daily report (betcha didn't guess that 1). The report was done by my future wife Kate Doyle, and the highly mature Jaclyn Montisano. One of the things they showed was some video of an old nuclear plant being blown up because it was shut down a few years ago. It was kinda cool. Then they talked about some hickish- government guy in like Louisiana who accepted bribes and hid them in his freezey. Can u say cold hard cash???? Also, there was an article about the mayoral election that took place in New Orleans. The former mayor, Ray Nagin, was reelected. This suprised me because he got myriads of criticism after the hurricane. After that, Mr. Couillard informed us on a new daily report format. We would now take notes in cornell note format on our daily reports. I am not too sure what I think of this, but I will be flexible. Though, the last time I did Cornell notes, it was with my evil 7th grade history teacher, Mrs. Gallagher. She was some stupid lady who always wore hiking boots, had a manly voice, and always had horrible coffee breath. Finally, we took the why we buy quizzes. I did ok.

III. I had no clue that stupid Ray Nagin got reelected.

IV. I'd like to know if it is dangerous concerning health, to blow up former nuclear buildings.

V. I have a very strong opinion when it comes to the mayaor of New Orleans. I believe that he did a terrible job preparing his city for hurricane Katrina, and he should not be reelected because it will happen again if he is mayor.
