(congratulations to period 1 and 2 for earning an extra credit point)

CULTURE VULTURE QUESTIONS

What are we going to present?

term 1 or term 2 activities

Can you let us know when there are culture vulture activities?

I need to do a better job...

can i do food twice?

only for the extra credit log

where can i go to get good asian food
each neighborhood has good choices
I like Brighton (Harvard Ave.) for Korean, Shabu Zen for hot pot, House of Siam for Thai, Elephant Walk for Cambodian, Pho 2000 for Vietnamese

what is culture vulture

it's life

can i eat food at a table ive never sat at in a place ive been

uh...

when can we make posters?

4th term

for every term we have to do something inn a different section? like i did culinary for the first term so for second term i would have to do something not related to food?

that is correct

Can it be the same category that you did the first time?
see above

Can you post local events on the blog?

I need to do that...

what can i do if i'm having personal issues at home with culture vulture. examples being: babysitting, financial, etc . . .

a great question! The most important thing is planning! If you plan, you can go for an inexpensive dessert in Chinatown or North End. See me for more help!

How will we present our culture vulture?

using Prezi!

Does it have to be different from last term? Like a different category?

Can I go watch the Gone Girl?
do it!

What do you wish you had done to better prepare for the exam?

i didnt understand the book at the beggining and wasnt as interrested in it.

if i had listened to what we talking about when we were watching the film, as well as reading the book more thoroughly.

I wish that I had stayed on track with the reading schedule to have more time to study at the end. Having to finish the book instead of spending time studying really was a setback for me.

stuff and thangs

Jotting down Questions and Responses from my classmates

Participated more, and read every night

i wish i stopped putting things off until the last minute, knowing that i wouldnt do it when it came down to it

go over the main point of each chapter and try to understand the reading rather then just reading to be done with it .

What was the best part of our "To Kill a Mockingbird" classwork?

asking questions as a class

History section for RASH

I liked the Inner/Outer Circle conversation since it was where I get to hear other people's questions and what they were thinking

when we the whole class discussion and we were able to handle it without you

When we actually hit it off with the roundtables

Reading the Movie and compare and contrast it to the book

i didnt enjoy it at all

What was the worst part of our "To Kill a Mockingbird" classwork?

doing writing reflections

inner/outer circle conversation

I felt forced to talk in Discussion

talking about the shot angles

History info, sometimes I got confused with it

Not spending enough time going over a lot of what might be important for the test

Entire class seminars, too many people wanting to talk

creating the questions and the teacher not checking them everyday

verbal/dramatic irony, didn't understand it well

Asking table partner questions because sometime they had no idea what I was talking about because they didn't read

What did you learn about "To Kill a Mockingbird" or Harper Lee by taking the exam?

nothing

about double standards, and race/class separation

i learned about stuff

Harper Lee only wrote one book

I have a better understanding of the book now than I did in 7th grade when I first read it.

I learned that "TKAM" is about Atticus and limits of Southern liberalism.

that sometimes decorum can force people to do acts that tehy dont want just so society views them positively

the world wasnt ready to talk about race back then and still isnt ready

I learned more about Harper Lee's life by taking the exam because I read the reading about what inspired her to write the book

I learned about Scout's point in view of her life experience in racism in the south
