This assignment can be done in AP Gov tomorrow...Watch video...respond as Journal #47..what did you learn from the video? Did anything surprise you? How do you relate this environmentalist's teachings with Emerson's view. Also, feel free to poke around their website. storyofstuff.org. Lots of cool stuff that doesn't need to be thrown away.Journal #48 prep should be done throughout the day on Thursday, May 30. Every half hour from the moment you wake up, jot down a sentence or two about what you did. Don't stop until you fall asleep for the night.
Read and annotate the first eight pages of Walden for tomorrow.
The lady in this video needs to be fact checked... we have 4% of our original forests left? Try 70%. (US Department of Agriculture - 2000 RPA Forest Service Assessment). Half of tax revenue goes to the military? Try 22.5%. (US Office of Budget and Management - President Obama Fiscal Year 2013 Budget). Though I fundamentally agree with most of what she's saying, if you're going to make up numbers.... at least make them believable.
ReplyDeleteCan our annotations be made on sticky notes in the actual book itself?

ReplyDeleteOne of the books passed out in my class still had sticky notes in them, so it's a safe assumption to say we can put sticky notes in the book.
ReplyDeleteGood work on fact checking, Neil. In Annie's defense...and these are not based in research, so feel free to punch holes. The tax figure might be Bush era numbers, not Obama era. Could the deforestation figure be world-wide, not nation-wide?
ReplyDeleteWow, ever since I watched this video, I can't watch CNBC without yelling at the screen.
