This morning we watched the film "Kids + Money". We watched kids from L.A. who have bought into the idea of consumerism and after our class discussion, so have most of their parents. Many of the kids who we saw with the exception of two, seemed to really buy in to the idea of name brands and designer items.
Drama went on the rest of the morning and hopefully all went well there.
After lunch we took some time to discuss the film "Kids + Money" and talked about why a film like that would be produced? What's the purpose of it? & Who's story is it telling?. Many students had some great opinions about the documentary and we definitely had some strong criticisms of some the girls in the film, especially the 12 year old talking about plastic surgery! We will take this film apart a little more later on this week and next. Below you will find the trailer to the film we are watching tomorrow called "Flying Anne".
After recess there was a few minutes to study and then a quick quiz was assigned on the Pythagorean Theory.
For tomorrow:
** Please bring your research on your artist and have some ideas for your shoe creations. You will not be allowed to go to the computer lab for information so hopefully you have your information.
