Also, what would have been yesterday's music:
One of my 5 favorite movie soundtracks.
The list:
1. Purple Rain
2. Singles
3. The Crow
4. Judgment Night
5. The Devil's Rejects
6. Naked in New York
7. Super Mario Bros
8. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey
9. Last Action Hero
10. Reality Bites
Not many of those films are good (possible exceptions being #s 1, 2, 5. &--especially--6), but the music is.
Funny thing is, I have never seen nor do I have any desire to see the film Judgment Night, but I loved the idea of this one so much I bought it as soon as it came out.
If you can't tell from the cover, the producers put together rock bands w/ rap artists before that horrible phase of "rap-rock" came around.
I'm looking at you, Limp Bizkit . . .
Highlights from this one: Slayer & Ice-T, Helmet & House of Pain, Biohazard & Onyx, & my absolute favorite, Del the Funky Homosapien & Dinosaur Jr.
Juniors:
Project Q & A instead of the planned group activity.
Why?
Because, as Donald Murray says in A Writer Teaches Writing, "All teaching plans, discussion notes, activities and exercises should be abandoned in the face of a good question or comment from a student" (107).
& there were some good questions.
Looking forward (haha) to some great projects.
Sophomores:
FORWARD!!!
We read through a draft of an essay about American football.
We answered the questions together in class.
We went over the bonus again, & you wrote down the instructions.
be cool
Purple Rain!
ReplyDelete:D
that's a great song.
and also the name of a firework.
because all learning/teaching/edu-K-tion should be rhetoric
ReplyDeleteyay to poetry notebooks

to those who can't, you know who you are.
Noah?!?
ReplyDeleteNoah????
Chloe: yes
David: yes, 2
oh Noah's probably workin on the chem homework. It's killer. >.<
ReplyDeleteTo McBride: Finally got a chance to read the response. :) Thanks for the advice. :) I think I'm getting better at writing poetry (or I just dramatically dropped my standards to the bare minimum of keeping within the right number of words and lines). :)
To the non-contrarian McBride: =D A thank you to you too! That made me smile. :) Thanks a bunch. :) And my teacher McBride was right because you did write "basically the same thing, only better". :P
To David: you ain't talkin about me, are you Bement? You're just giving me more reason to NEVER show you my notebook! And McBride, please do not let him see it!
(scared)
ReplyDeletethere's a reason Chloe and I had been best friends for years...Jessica is the innocent one of these two sisters.... *cue Pyscho theme here* :)
ReplyDeletewhat's kind of funny is . . .
ReplyDeleteI read "*cue Psycho them here*"
& got the Halloween music in my head
Juniors get to write poetry no fair :( I love writing poetry D: Mc Bride we should write poetry for fun!
ReplyDeleteSenza: You'd think I'd be doing the chemistry, wouldn't you, it would certainly be the smart thing to do. But no, I took a (mostly) lazy day today, and I'll pay for it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMcBride: Thanks for the annotations/comments they are a big help in the corrections! Now, I just have to finish that pesky color paragraph...
Lorena--you're time is gonna come
ReplyDeleteNoah--you rule
*High five at Noah for Chemistry procrastination*
ReplyDeletethe main reason I procrastinate the chemistry is because i don't understand it. I look at a formula and plug in the right stuff...and i'll get the right answer. But I leave with no recollection of what I just did.
ReplyDeleteOh. and also cuz I'm be working on McB's project. i want it to be awesome but I just found out that the photo copy I needed was in the wrong size! :'( gah!
I'm hurt that you called me Bement.
ReplyDeleteGrats on 9th btw.
I warned you about the chemistry, but hey, why believe me? What do i know?
I am currently looking into life insurance regarding the less innocence of a certain individual.
(For those who don't get it, "Will be the death of me" cliche moment)
(a little more scared)
ReplyDeletelolwhut? the new picture looks like a slightly retarded hippo skipping in a field of dandelions.
ReplyDeletethat would be Opus, the penguin from "Bloom County," "Outland," & his eponymous strip
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I learned a new word thanks to that last post!
ReplyDeleteEven when I'm not in your class, I manage to learn something, so thanks for that.
what's with everyone calling my a psychopath?
ReplyDeleteI am so not! (no, a psychopath would not say that)
I'm with schizo -->
ReplyDeleteHere is something everyone should listen to, The Hush Sound.
ReplyDeleteMostly directed at McBride... just because I think you will fall in love with the lead singer's voice, she is brilliant.
Question, can we do the poetry notebook as a blog? Or do we actually have to turn in something?
ReplyDeleteJamie: yes, you are absolutely right . . cool oxymoronic name, also . . .
ReplyDeleteMafalda: yes, & no
