1. What does Adora say about adults listening to young people?
She said something like "You should lend the ear today , because we are the leader's of tomorrow" And I think that's true Maybe lot's of Adult's think that maybe your child is not that smart or something will make you feel ashamed but to be honest children are getter better and better the yare sometime's better then when you are when you are in our age,and what I think she said it's right because you should listen to us today because we will be better as what you think.
2. What do you think about her argument?
I think was great because I'm standing here for children and I think what she says are right, we need respect from adults and thats what we can show them better skills.
3. What parts do you agree with? Why?
I think when she says children are not stupid as what adult think's maybe they are not that genius when they are in our age but now we got better skills and stuff (no offense)
4. What parts do you disagree with? Why?
The dream that children had, of course everyone should have their own dream but what i disagree with is that she said this is only the thinking you cant really do it because it's a dream but I don't think so like if you have a dream it mean's you want to do it and if you tried hard and I think every children have a goal to score it.
5. Describe what makes Adora such a confident public speaker. Is she an example of why adults should listen more to kids?
Yeah, because not much people can talk like that and be really sure and confident I think what makes her become like that because she has a really strongly thinking about adult should learn from children and I think that adult should really listen to children. And I think so she is an example because that what she has a strongly feeling even though her parents don't have that kind of thinking but still I think this is what what she wanted to tell "You are to lend an ear, because we are the leaders of tomorrow."

Citizenship - shopping
March 8- March 12
We will continue to learn how to be more conscious consumers by doing an in-class activity
HOMEWORK DUE FRIDAY 8:20AM:
Reflect (think) back on our in-class activity and answer the following questions in your blogs:
• How did it feel to have more or less money than other people in the class?
I don't think they are some much difference about it but what I think is as long as you have a good life as long as you can live on the earth it's okay for me.
How did it feel to see what you could and could not afford at the Global Mall?
It's kinda of unfair this is what I think because that other people get lot's of money like rich people and buy good stuff you don't have to work or like do anything to get it that's so nice but then we get for nothing just by working and making ourselves live just much better.
• How many of you could not afford education? What would your lives be like if you could not go to school?
There are a lot that i can't do it because i don't have enough money it will be worse if i don't go to school first you ave to think about your live and then the travel if you can't go to school you can't learn anything and in the future when you work it's kinda hard to find a good job for me.
• How would it feel to have to choose between food and health care?
It will be really worse because if you eat a lot then that's okay but it doesnt mean you will get healthy you still hve to make you healthy or you will get sick or die and then if you choosen health care it still needs food to protect yoruself or you will also sick and die, food and health care are the most two important thing that you cant lose in your life.
• How many of you have ever been very sick or gone to a hospital or had friends and family who have? What would your life be like now if you had been unable to get medical care?
Yes my family before and that's really bad and also i think it will be worse because that you won't get good or better if you don't eat anything to protect your body.
• What were the impacts caused by people with fewer Global Mall Dollars, and what were the impacts caused by people with more Global Mall Dollars?
It depend's.
8th Graders ALSO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING:
• Discuss the fact that roughly one-fifth of all people worldwide survive on
less than $1 (U.S.) a day – how does this limit their choices, and what are the environmental, social, and global security implications of this?
It's kinda impossible to have 1 doller a day to survive because you will need lots of thing and then if you count it as a year or month you can't really buy anything you want.
• When you were choosing what to buy, did you think about the environmental impact? For those of you in the lowest income range, did you have a choice about the environmental impact you produced? If not, how did it feel to
not have a choice?
I think the post important thing is it's really hard to get something that you want but then with "?" price of money you will have to think about lot's of thing but it all depends on how much you have.

Avatar
I watched a movie called Avatar before and after that harry's goodbye party we watched again.
It's mostly about that a person which goes to different world , one is normal world and one is to be avatar and he was to sent to work because he's brother is not working anymore and then he is to go to another world to be avatar but what make's he do that is because that they want to be apart of them and then try to get the world the land become their's they want to steel the avatar's land and then the person starts to go day and night to become avatar and come back and record about it but then he was going to steel their place but then after that he notice that he fall in love with a girl so then he start to help them but there is human which want to attack them and try to get their land's but then the person which helps don't want to help them because he fall in love with a girl and then after that he protect their land.
but what Avatar this movie is actually talking about is that In hinduism avatar refers to a delibreate descent of a deity from heavin to earth and it's mostly translated into english but more accurately as a p pearance or manifestation.
