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.
