Scribe April 20 Period 5

The class, as always started off with a "hello Smith", but today, it was somewhat dismal because it's Friday. What else can you expect from students on a Friday?

Then immediately we went around the room and shared our examples of a story. Some were creative, some were odd, and others were original. Here are what kids brought in:

Chipotle cups and bags        

German Stollen

books

Campbell's Soup

cooking magazines

Tom's shoes

cave drawings

body lotion

Old Spice deodorant

birthday cards

granola bars

cereal

                   soap

                 Coca Cola stories

                 Van's shoes

                 Ranch dressing powder

                   Mr. Booth's story

                   Clif Bars

                 music books

                 Dr. Drey Headphones

Before we did anything, Mrs. Smith had everyone google a man named Clay Shirky. We found that he is a good friend with Cory Doctrow, he has a blog, and that he is focused on how the internet is a social and economic force that people need to use to make a difference and change the world.

Then we watched his TED Talk.

Like we did in class you might need to watch it twice.

Homework:

1. The Blog for Clay Shirky's TED Talk is due Monday with all of the regular requirements.
2. Read "Story" in AWNM by Monday and be prepared for fishbowl on Monday, too.
3. Read "Seven Reasons Why Carrots and Sticks (Often) Don't Work" by Monday. (Annotation is optional)
