Friday Fun Day: Halloween Edition
Here's what you should do: Get together with the people in both
classes who speak your language. Find a ghost story, legend, or play
that you will perform together as a group. If you have something special
from your culture, great. If not, find something else that is scary
that you can perform for us. Prizes will be awarded for the most
creative performances.
Aybeck--you can perform by yourself or you can immigrate to another group!
Presentations should be 5-10 minutes in length. If you need more time than that, please let me know.

Blog Writing #2: Critical thinking (due Thursday)
We've spent the past few weeks reading about and listening to the causes of obesity in children.
Some of the culprits are:
1. Genetics ("Fat Chance")
2. The fast food industry, with McDonald's at the forefront ("Supersize Me")
3. The beverage industry ("Bottlers Agree to a School Ban on Sweet Drinks")
4. The advertising agency ("Ban on Fast-Food TV Ads May Cut Obesity")
5. The schools, for not educating the children about nutrition and for not providing physical exercise time and equipment ("Supersize Me")
6. The parents
7. The children
8. Other possibilities (video games/when we eat/where we eat/how much we eat...)
Having considered all of the information, who do you think is responsible for our children's obesity epidemic? Use evidence from the above sources--and others, if you have them--to explain, support, and argue your point of view.
You can start your composition as follows:
Although its difficult to single out just one specific cause for the obesity epidemic in America, I believe that the major cause of the problem is ___________.
A composition is not an essay. You can write 1-2 long paragraphs to answer the question.

Presentation: Your 100-Mile Diet
Follow the instructions on p. 154 in Leap.
You may work with a partner if they come from the same region of your country. If you present alone, presentation should be 5-7 minutes. If you present with a partner, 8-10 minutes.
First, make a list of the foods that are available within 100 miles (160 km) of your home and divide them into categories on the chart on p. 154.
Then, prepare a pie chart that will show us one day of your diet during the summer and another pie chart for one day on your diet in the winter, when fresh produce is not bountiful (unless you live in a tropical environment). Divide the pie chart into categories of produce (fruits and vegetables), grain products, milk products, and meat products.
For you presentation:
1. Explain where you live and what food sources are available to you within the 10-mile limit. Organize your content logically, such as by food categories, by distance from your home or by season.
2. Tell us what one day on your 100-mile diet would look like in the summer and in the winter. What would you eat for each meal? How would you satisfy your nutrition requirements for the categories mentioned in your pie chart?
3. Prepare an attention-grabbing introduction and a thoughtful and reflective conclusion (in this presentation, the conclusion should not be a summary). A good introduction can start with some interesting or surprising statistics, a thought-provoking question or idea, or an anecdote (story).
4. Use verbal cues and transition words to clearly lead us from one point to the next.
Presentations will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week:

Presentation Schedule
I think it might be too difficult to have all the presentations tomorrow; therefore, in each class we will do half tomorrow and half on Monday.
Here is the link for the presentation grading form in case you'd like to see it before your presentation. I want you to know the criteria by which I will evaluate you (but please don't worry--everything we do in my class is just PRACTICE for the big game!):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-rIza1967iVdW1uNVB5dDBPcXM/view?usp=sharing
Please bring your reading book tomorrow so we can continue practicing STATED and IMPLIED main idea.

Remote Class
Hi Guys.
I have posted your assignments for tomorrow. One is a reading assignment and one is a listening assignment.
On a separate note, many of you have still not completed your Teacher Man work to my satisfaction. In fact, the only one who has come close is Moaz. So if you didn't read Teacher Man, I'm giving you one last chance to give me a proper excuse note that will show me that you understood the reading!
Questions or comments? Post them here.
I look forward to reading all of your responses at or before 12:30 p.m. tomorrow :)
*The Townsendpress.net reading exercises are NOT due by 12:30 (contrary to what I mentioned in class yesterday). I will have you do those over the weekend. However, you are welcome to get started on the main idea chapter as soon as you are able.

Who do you agree with? The schools that have basically "outlawed" the soft drinks or the 16-year-old high school student who wrote the "Letter to the Editor?"
Explain your position.
