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??

For the TED talk test tomorrow, is it multiple choice or fill in the blank?
ReplyDeleteShort answer. :)
DeleteI already read chapter and boy is it interesting. I can't wait for great dating session on Thursday!
ReplyDeleteHi, 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:

Thank you! It is hard to believe isn't it?
DeleteDang the Cubs went off tonight setting the post season record for home runs in a game is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteGo Cubs go!
DeleteHi, I was just checking the blog and felt like commenting. So I wish a great night to anyone who reads this and see you tomorrow Ms. Beltran!
ReplyDeleteGo Dr. Emoto! Really shows that out words and thoughts do have an effect! I liked how he used people like Hilter and then Mother Theresa very interesting!
