Short film Critical thinking

 Today in class we watched two short films. We were asked to give a short summary and the two themes that we got from the videos. We will do three more tomorrow. It was a bit difficult trying to think of themes off the top of my head. But I found the second video entitled "2+2=5" to be interesting. It was about a boy who wouldn't accept 2+2 to equal 5. Even when "held at gunpoint" and when all his classmates were intimidated into saying it equals 5, he wouldn't stop standing up for what he believed to be true. I liked that video and I think it is very relevant to the world we currently live in.

 Today we worked on another assignment on Newsela. Today's passage was about how select fast-food industries are violating labor laws. I had no idea that this was a big problem let alone a problem at all. I learned something new and answering the questions was pretty easy. Someone I knew, died today. He and I didn't really get along, but I would never wish this upon anyone. It hasn't been an easy year, so many of my classmates are dying. I will never forget the impact each of them have had on my life.  Rest In Peace, Guillermo.

poem presentation- Monday Nov 6
