The second batch of Motivational Inspiration

Not a whole lot going on lately, in terms of the blog; I'm sure most of us are busy with the relentless onslaught of assignments. I've sure got plenty to do, and more than just schoolwork.

Needless to say, I feel it's important to make an effort to post occasionally... A little activity goes a long way, and there's nothing like a couple funny images to emphasis that point:

Latest Poll Results

In a recent poll asking which media types offered the biggest new-thing adrenaline rush, you said Movies. Only *one* poor, hapless soul didn't vote for movies...

In second, with under 50% of the total vote, came Video Games. You didn't vote for Used Car Dealerships, but then again, I really didn't anticipate anyone would.

While we're speaking of movies, Brit Lit's taking a field trip to Milwaukee and Madison to see Beowulf. We'll have a review here sometime next week on how the event turned out!

Yearbook Initiation

As Week Eleven rolls in, the Yearbook project has at last sprung into being. In an effort to provide you some insight into what the final product may be, here's an excerpt from the "Welcome to the Yearbook team" email (Sent to us by Lanette Strong, who's spearheading the operation):

...I have taken the information you sent to me and I've put together a guide line as to who will be working in each area....The Community Coordinators will be acting as "Student Captains" and each coordinator will have a list of the students in their area who are working on the year book staff... As the announcement stated, this yearbook is going to be in DVD form and will be available to all students at the end of the 2007-2008 school year. We are going to have a deadline of 12:00 midnight, Friday, May 2, 2008 for all information submitted....

Also within the introductory email was a long list of topics and students covering those topics. These include things like teacher interviews, a student map, area events, outside of school student exploitations, and the like. It's quite a long list, actually. Should be interesting to see how this all turns out. My opinion so far is actually very favorable. The organization seems well thought out and properly executed, for the time being. If properly managed, and if all the students complete their tasks proficiently, this could turn out quite nicely.


I'll post updates on developments as it progresses. For the time being, I'm quite curious as to how it is going to differ from our friends at Virtually News (who've just released their latest edition by the way,) and I've made an inquiry to that end.

Would love to hear your take on this,
