Scribe 5/9/14 3rd Hour
There were some drawings on the board today that I didn't remember to take a picture of, but trust me, they were all great.
We started the day with announcements (or rather, talking over the announcements. good job, guys!).
So, if you missed those you can find them right here.
At the beginning of class, we received Warrior Strong bracelets, key chains, and little note cards that had the acronym STRONG on them w/ an explanation. Thank you to Ben Chisholm of TSA, as well as the Arapahoe administration!
Today was Friday, and Bella Heis brought in a cookie/cake thing (not sure what to call it) and some cupcakes. Happy birthday Bella, and happy early birthday, Jack! Thanks for the food, Bella!
After the food frenzy that took place at Bella's table, Smith suggested that we go back to our seats and work. She demonstrated how to time slides in google drive, and instructions on how to do that are on the sixth slide right here.
After she explained that, we had the rest of class to work and practice our speeches/slides.
HOMEWORK: Practice Intro-End of your TED Talk (Smith Plan), or Intro-End add visuals (Slacker Plan, I think we chose to call it). Try to take Mother's Day off, or at least take part of it to enjoy with your mom. :) That's all, and have an awesome weekend!

Scribe 5/5- Elizabeth Brandel, 5th hour
Today we had a day to work on our TED talks. Mrs. Smith informed us that if we are on the strict schedule, the intro, first, and second paragraphs should be completed by tomorrow. If you are following the more lenient schedule, you should have your intro paragraph finished by tomorrow.
Also the last fishbowl is on wednesday over Meaning.

SHORT ACT DAY (23 minutes total)
Then two former TED Talk students (one of them from Moritz’s class and one from Smith’s) gave their tips. To listen to their tips (combined with Smith’s), click here (it’s 13:02 minutes long).
Smith then discussed the Shirky Summary Response, asking what the importance of our global-connectedness through technology is… She said (that Shirky said) that we can change the world, because collective intelligence is so huge that it can create results of great communal and civic value (citing Syria, Egypt, Kony 2012, and Ukraine as examples of where the collective information brought issues to light). Smith stressed that we go further in our response than just the speech of Shirky. She said that we keep limiting ourselves in our writing; she asked that, instead, we extend our thinking.
Smith then talked us through a 3 minute mental health check (the overall consensus was that everyone was STRESSED OUT).
Homework: TED Blog 4 due tomorrow, read Symphony

Scribe (Griffin) April 17, 2014 Period: 5
Today was fishbowl .
You should have lots of comments on your first blog.
Helpful Tips:
- you should have the link to the video in your blog
- think about verbs, using digital enhancements,
- don’t use because in topic sentences,
- link to sources, extend,
- focus on spacing
- look at the word color,
- analyze speaking style,
- don’t use personal words
- look at blog after you post it
we then looked at our schedule :
The first page should have the schedule that we desire next year for first and second semester with section and course numbers
Ex: open master schedule, find American Lit. Honors
If want Mrs. Ackerman 2nd hour
______________________________________________________________________________
Amer. Lit. Honors ____I_______________________________________________________>
208011.5-20 I
I
Tips on scheduling:
- Start with core classes then work with that
- Don’t do schedule in pen, do it in pencil
- Have enough alternate classes that if you don’t get what you want, then you can get another class that interests you.
- Be calm during arena schedule
- Get the teacher initials before the 28th
- Use the practice sheet, it’s not required, but it is smart
Tomorrow is going to be work time, and 15 min. of discussion time on design. .
Fishbowl:
a few Questions
Comment From Eliana
Would you buy something that is not good looking? Would you buy something that does not have a function?
Comment From Kira P
Does everyone have the capability to be a designer?
|
Comment From Paige Paulsen
Would it be fair to say that public schools try to offer a wide variety of subjects? Would it be better to have many specialized schools or maintain the current standard of teaching a little about a lot in one setting?

Comment From Steven Hindman 
How much does this hammer cost?
Comment From Comment From Steven Hindman 
How about this one?
A few answers:
Comment From Caroline McPhillips
Eliana: I think it depends on how well the product works. I think that company would have to market their product more and "harder" if that makes sense
Josie Lee:
Kira: I definitely think that we all have potential to be designers, and I think that our ability to comprehend things differently gives us more f a chance to do design. Just the fact that we all learn differently proves that we are all original
