Reading and Writing Challenge

Rory Gilmore Reading List Challenge The Bhagavad Gita is an early epic poem that recounts the conversation between Arjuna the warrior and his charioteer Krishna, the manifestation of God. In the moments before a great battle, the dialogue sets out the important lessons Arjuna must learn to change the outcome of the war he is to fight, and culminates in Krishna revealing to the warrior his true cosmic form, counselling him to search for the universal perfection of life. Ranging from instructions on yoga postures to dense moral discussion, the Gita is one of the most important Hindu texts, as well as serving as a practical guide to living well. Translated by Laurie L. Patton AP Literature class with Mr. Negley finished Crime and Punishment. I felt I relived it with a student.

Pinterest has been a great resource for Curating resources for science and ed tech.

I created a page for each main topic we cover in Biology.
I added all virtual resources that I've compiled on my CANVAS pages.
I added all links I had saved on the BOOKMARKS.
Ed Tech tools and links for resources from the ETEP program.

I cried at school.  A lot.

I blasted rock music songs from a Spotify playlist while my Biology class conducted peer oriented guided inquiry learning "Membrane Function".   We made models of membrane out of play-do.  An absolutely awesome lesson.  Extending the lesson with stop action photos with the app on chrome books to demonstrate facilitated diffusion, and then build a membrane to describe cell signaling cascade.

I walked onto the football field and took a picture of the protest signs.  My role felt more as an observer or journalist.  Man, the picture is classic.  Wish I could but I am not allowed to post.  Can't show you.  I swear one young man was wearing the exact outfit of Bender from Breakfast Club when he fist bumps the air on the football field.  However, I was given a stern talking to about how I was not allowed to go out to the protesters and take the photos as it appeared as if I were inciting it.  I became upset, cried, was consoled by my teacher besties. My class could obviously tell I had been crying and they were solum, toned down and working on the Virtual Diffusion Lab.  By the next class the students had met from the other schools in the WalMart parking lot, I was down to about 12/40 students attending class.   Students were mostly watching SnapChat.  And then.  The final bell rang on the longest week and hardest day I taught in a long time.

I remember the other longest week.  My first few weeks of teaching in fall 2001.  I do not want to compare those days at all, except to say in both the students were scared.  Everyone was scared.  And that makes for a weird space to talk about cell membrane concentrations.   But because I knew this, I should have been more prepared with calm.   Maybe I shouldn't have played Revolution and Imagine.  
But I did.

Global temperature rise

• 

  All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880.5 Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.6 Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase. http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/ T.C.
