Some Goodies

7th period, here is the link to the video I mentioned.  Everyone should watch it though, regardless if you're in period 7 or not.

I'm taking down the Outliers link for copyright reasons but you can google search "Outliers free online copy" and find it yourself.

For Thursday, have Chapter 1 "The Matthew Effect" read.  Have questions/observations as well as favorite quotes/lines.  You'll be expected to speed date with your info so be ready.

And shout out to the kids in period 4 WHO ACTUALLY READ AND CAME BACK TO CLASS.  What happened to the rest of you??

xoxo

  3. Hi, Ms. Beltran! I thought the video was interesting, but a bit hard to believe... I found this article that assesses the validity of Emoto's claims:

    And there's actually a section on his wikipedia article about scientific criticism that also touches on the subject:
