Iron Man

I love a movie that takes a character, billionaire without a care in the world Tony Stark, and then runs him into the ground testing him in everyway. And just when you think he can't survive and his life is over, he finds a way to persevere. The next step of getting on with his life begins only to have his greatest challenge to date come along. Iron Man never stops with the action. It grabs you until your reluctantly forced to say, what time is it because that was not a two hour movie. WOW, thank you Jon Favreau for directing a great movie.

The next big summer movie = Indy Jones. I hope it is half as good as Iron Man.

Iron man is a rich, genius, who realizes his life means more than just girls and weapons. Think you can pull one over on Tony Stark, Iron Man says no way.

I always wanted to teach

If you have not learned yet I like being the facilitate of knowledge, creative, inventive and Doritos filled. The best part about The test was when I am done grading I know where you guys stand. I can tell one thing from this class. You all like to work hard at something if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Okay my article presentation is Thursday night. I appreciate all the work you all put into it. Use that technique and you don't have to even write it down. Just use it to make predictions. I plan on doing more of that sort of activity again. Maybe even with a movie. If anyone has a good one, I will have to get it approved, but I think I can get it to work if it is good.

Any idea on Lesson Plans. I will be getting a list of topics. But what should be graded? Participation? Presenting the Lesson in Class? Working cooperatively? Creating examples?
Ideas are welcome.

Quote of the week comes from Return of the Jedi, "Hey, point that thing some place else."

Similar Triangle Parts

Another day at Norton High brings another great learning experience. One such moment occurede in my period C geo, one student stopped my class to say the lamest joke. I gave an orange marker to a student and said "you need the orange marker". The student replied, "YOU need the orange marker!?!"

As he said this unrully statement to me, everyone realized something. That he is the lamest and the joke was not nearly as funny as it sounded in his head. Creative? No WAY.

It is obvious learning from each other is more fun than lecturing. We learned about inner voices and orange markers that day. I learned don't try to be funny. It never works out. Also the iner monologues actually work. We should all use them more.

Which is better

The door decorating contest will end with in victory for Mr. Grasso's Door. We have a superior door design. The jealousy coming from the other competitors is ludicrous.


P.S.
Wendy's or Burger King?
