So Much to Say

Everything is absolutely connected and today is no exception...how else could the perfect show come about at the perfect time and align perfectly with reading and our second semester learning?? 

Anyhoo...

The "TED Talk" we watched isn't a TED Talk at all so if you were absent, I am so sorry.  It's David Letterman's premiere episode of "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction".  If you have Netflix, you can find it, otherwise, you can google the episode and find commentary and the general overview of it.  Since it isn't a typical talk, no need for a transcript or anything. 

Do take the time, though, to check out Obama's 2017 Best Books list and his Best Music list as well.  I am listing the books below.

In addition, watch THIS.  It is worth your time.

Thank you for bringing your ISJs...I will get them back to you as soon as I can.  Email me if you want your journal back ASAP and I will read yours first.

Enjoy the rest of your day and be ready to do a little writing tomorrow.  Thursday we will be prepping for the final and Friday is SAS so PLEASE BE READY EVERYONE.

Love and Light,
Beltran
