"Bucket List"

Watching TV the other day, I ran across the movie "Bucket List". This movie is about two men at the end of their lives who make a list of things that they want to do in their lives before the end comes. It got me thinking about what I would put on my bucket list.

Now, since no one really wants to talk about death I was thinking, if I had to make a bucket list of things that I would like to do before I turn 40..what would be on that list.

1) Go sky diving

I would want to do this because I have a fear of heights and I think that jumping out of a plane would help me conquer that fear.

2) Buy a house with a back yard

I would love to own my own house with a yard for Radley to play in. To me, this would mean that I was successful in life.

3) Own a pair of Minolo Blahniks

Okay so I would never actually pay $600 for shoes but I would love to see what it would feel like to actually own a pair of these beautiful shoes.

There are others, but I would rather hear what you have to say. So...your warm up today is to write a list blog of things that you would like to accomplish before you turn 40. Make sure that you follow the rules of list blogging (and add a picture!!)

warm up on 9/17+18

Tried to find a good blog for you to read about, but I just couldn't! Everything for today looked very boring. So, instead, I am going to have you blog. Just like on Monday, I am going to ask you a question and you need to log in to your blogger page to respond...don't forget to add either a picture or a link to your answer!

On September 29, I will be celebrating another birthday. So....I was thinking...let's write about birthdays. You have two options for your blog. You can either answer question 1 or 2

1. What is your favorite birthday memory? Make sure you give lots of details and tell why it was so good.

2. If you could ask for any gift for your birthday, what would you ask for? Tell exactly why you would ask for that gift. (PS make sure you write more then two sentences! you can even add info on why this present would complete your life or how it would change or help you)

I am hoping this works so that we can do this in class on Thursday and Friday!

TOP TEN WAYS TO ANNOY YOUR STUDENTS

10. Pretend you don't hear them when they call your name

I find that this works really well espessially when the studnets are really confused. If you ignore them and make them really frustrated..they get annoyed.

9. Call them the wrong name...all the time.

If you realy want to make a student mad, you should call him or her the wrong name. This works the best if you call them a name of a person they can't stand.

8.Yell right in their face.

When you do this...you should also have VERY bad breath!

A simple question

So I was talking with my friend the other night and we were having a little debate. She said she wanted to marry a very rich man and I said I would rather have a really good job and support myself. Of course she pointed out that most people who have rally good jobs are also really smart while you just have to find the right person to make you rich. We got in to a debate about choices. Which choice would you make...would you rather be very rich or very smart? Respond to this choice on your blogspot page. Be sure to add a picture!!

For your first post...

Cngrats! You all have set up your blog site! Now, you need to write a post so that others can respond. So...here is the question that I want you to write about...How do you feel about staying at school an extra 80 minutes? Do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea? (go to your blog site and click on new posts. Label it "Extra Time" and write at least seven-ten sentences about this topic)
