For your reference, here are the two Ted Talks that we watched in class for the upcoming benchmark.
"How to Buy Happiness" by Michael Norton: https://www.ted.com/talks/michael_norton_how_to_buy_happiness "Would Winning the Lottery Make You Happier?" by Raj Raghunathan https://ed.ted.com/lessons/would-winning-the-lottery-make-you-happier-raj-raghunathan Just a reminder: I write the day's agenda, objectives, homework, and standards on the board every day. For example, this is today's board: You should check the board at the beginning of each class and copy down the homework if necessary. Everyone in EVERY CLASS should be able to answer the questions "What are you doing right now?" and "WHY are you doing that?" Let me know if you find that you cannot answer these questions.
The final for this class is a group project. Your group must create and present an informative powerpoint.
Each group has already selected a topic. The topics are listed below. If your group chooses to change the topic, you can only change up until Friday, Dec. 8. Period 3: Group 7: Composting Group 8: Water Conservation Group 9: Keeping to Ocean Clean Group 4: Starting a Garden Group 5: Clean Air Transportation Group 6: How to Save Energy at Home Group 1: Going Vegetarian Group 2: Recycling Tips Group 3: How to Use Less Plastic Period 4: Group 7: College Applications Group 8: Studying Tips Group 9: Exercise Group 4: Cooking Tips (There is no group 5) Group 6: How to Get a Job Group 1: How to Deal With Stress Group 2: Relationships Group 3: Money Directions/Grading Rubric: I passed out the project directions and grading rubric in class, but here is an extra copy if you need it: Project Directions/Rubric Please take this survey which will help our school prepare for the upcoming WASC visit.
