Welcome to Journalism.
Today we are reviewing classroom policies. As most of our work will take place in one of the two computer labs, it is imperative that there is no food or beverages- never / ever - brought into these rooms.
Students should share the criteria information with their parents and sign and return the attached sheet. Please retain the top sheet for contact information. As well, get the photo release signed if you want me to use class pictures on the blog.

Note that on MONDAY SEPTEMBER 13 the class, as well as every English class, is writing a critical lens essay on the two choice books that the students were required to read over the summer. This is 20% of this marking period's grade. The format of the essay is a critical lens. If for some reason you have not read the material, you may still write the essays; however 15 points for each non assigned novel will be deducted. The SOTA website: http://www.rochester.org/ has the book selections for each grade that were handed out last June.
Each day when you come into the room, you should log onto this site. This may be reached either directly: http://journalism10-11.blogspot.com/ or through the SOTA website under www.rcsdk12.org/sota. From there go to teachers and then Parker. Memorize this!
What's happening? Next week we will begin reading a text on the First Amendment. (about 200 pages) This will be done primarily outside of class, whilst in the lab you will use the time for individual journalism history projects. Heads up...knowing the countries of the world is coming soon, as well!
In the meantime....you need by tomorrow to have yourself registered on this blog, where most of your writing will occur. And I promise you, we will be writing lots! As well, I have set up a drop box account for more involved work, so that very little need be printed out.
DUE BEFORE TUESDAY'S CLASS:
I would like to try something a bit more creative in the getting-to-know-you category. Below you will see The Proust Questionaire. Open up a word document and respond to the questions. When you have completed the task, send them along in an e-mail, where I'll collect them in the drop box. Take your time. Your responses should be fluid and grammatically correct. However, they may be witty and imaginative. Tasty bits will be shared on the blog. As noted above these are due before class on Tuesday. You have tomorrow in class to work on them, but no time on Tuesday. The grading rubric will be based upon correct grammar, spelling and completion of the assignment. Have fun!
The Proust Questionnaire
Marcel Proust 10 July 1871 – 18 November 1922) was a French novelist, critic and essayist best known for his monumental À la recherche du temps perdu (In Search of Lost Time- earlier translated as Remembrance of Things Past). It was published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927. In the back pages of Vanity Fair magazine each month, readers find The Proust Questionnaire, a series of questions posed to famous subjects about their lives, thoughts, values and experience. As a way of getting to know you, and by extension each other, please read and respond to the following questions. They are from a party game the young Proust played at the age of 13. As with this writer, the questions give insight into character and life beliefs. Take your time and reflect. These should not be extended responses. Humor and wit are welcomed. Make sure you are registered on the blog and post accordingly.

1. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
ReplyDeleteWhen answering this question, two other questions come to mind: What is happiness? And what is perfection? Nothing in this world is perfect. Everything has either a flaw or a fault. Therefore, there is no such thing as perfection.
I’ve often heard that happiness is being at peace and accepting everything that is going on in one’s life. But, can you ever be content with everything? The answer is no. Being content with everything in your life would be perfect… and once again, there is no such thing as perfection.
My idea of perfect happiness is that, there is no such thing as perfect happiness.

1. This question is ridiculous, as there is no such thing as a "perfect happiness." If there was, everyone would be all ballistic and/or freaky. However, I believe that all there is is just being happy. For me, happiness is when I'm with my friends, having fun, or just simply enjoying life as it is.
ReplyDelete2. I have not actually thought that I would have a greatest fear. If I really think hard enough, I fear of spontaneously exploding.
3. Extravagance? I would say my pure awesomeness as it is now and forever.
4. I tend not to think of that, cause I believe I'm mentally confused or it's normal. Which isn't normal for me. I'm going insane.
5. Overrated virtue, like those ego-maniacs you see on TV or those politicians you see all the time.

8. Firstly, the personality. I like a good personality. Then they have to look good. I mean, what the hell, you don't see me with a crazy disfigured woman right now.
9. Like. What. I, he, she, it, they, crap, um, ninja, asian, ?, ****, awesome, awesomeness.
10. Either home, or somewhere with my friends having fun, or a party that celebrates something. For example, a birthday party, playing video games, Christmas. Oh, and when I'm destroying things.
11. Either knowing how to use a katana, and/or do some awesome martial art. Like kung-fu. Or doing moves from "The Matrix."
12. I would make myself just a little taller. I'm shorter than the usual guys you see. But not like Yao Ming tall or Shaq O'neil tall. I would keep bumping my head into things if I was that tall.
13. Beating this one dungeon in the video game Final Fantasy. Took FOREVER. Like 20 hours worth.
14. My life. And several things I keep.
15. When you feel dead. Or when you have an emo moment.
16. When they're there for you. Their support and friendship, duh.
17. I don't relate myself with a historical figure. That'd be weird of me.
18. SPIDER-MAN! Because he's cool, and usually weaker than other superheroes, but somehow beats them somehow. And he can wall-crawl.
19. Ignorant people. Or annoying people.
20. I would die fighting. Like some kind of freaking hero. Then people would build a memorial statue in the park. Also, I would holding a sword because swords are awesome. I would die protecting someone. I'm not die like those normal people you see everyday, like those filler actors in action movies.

ReplyDelete1.If perfect happiness were to exist I would consider it to be living stable and comfortable. Comfortable with yourself as well as your circumstances. When you have a balance between all your activities. And when you are surrounded by a positive circle of family, friends etc.
2.Losing the people that matter the most to me. It would be hard to get through those hard times if I didn’t have their faith and support.
3.It would have to be letting people get to me. I absorb my surroundings to much and a lot of times it negatively affects my mood.
4.I’m on the borderline of being insane. I’m weird, random and analyze stuff to much.
5.I think being rich is the most overrated virtue. Money means a lot but it isn’t everything. It also comes with a lot of baggage.
6.When I have made a promise not to tell someone else’s personal business or to my parents when I don’t want to get in trouble. Also to my family (mostly elders) so they don’t think of me differently because some of them are judgmental. Oh and when I don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.
7.My height I get reminded everyday about how short I am. It gets annoying so I could use a few inches.
8.A good personality. I like people who are positive and have something going for themselves. Someone I can have a good time with. I don’t like boring people.
9.I would have to say laugh out loud and ugh I’m so irritated somebody about to catch the wrath.
10.Hmm. I don’t even know. I had a lot of happy moments.
11.I wish I could sing and choreograph. I love music and singing mad loud while in my room listening to the radio but it would be more fun if I could really sing. And I like to dance but can’t make one up to save my life.
12.My habits I really need to stop procrastinating and sucking my finger.
13.I think it would have to be growing into who I am now. I’ve been through a lot and many people have high expectations for me. But I still manage to be an overall happy person, get good grades and am respected and admired by adults and children for the way that I carry myself.
14.My family and friends although they irritate me on the regular I love them to death and don’t know what I would do without them. Materialistic wise it’s my grandmother’s watch that my grandfather allowed me to keep after she passed away. It makes me feel more connected to that side of my family and her even after death .
15.Reaching the point where you consider (or actually try) committing suicide whether by way of personal violence or addictions that are lending to your death slowly but surely.
16.I value friends that are mostly independent, real and trustworthy. Often times friends are clingy because they like to be apart of the crowd. I don’t like friends that get around certain people and change the way they act and treat you. I think friends should be able to be understanding with each other in all aspects.
17.Martin Luther King Jr. He was very opinionated, smart, valued family and dealt with conflict well.
18.I’m not really into fiction and heroes so I don’t have one.
19.If I had to pick one of the many things I dislike it would be ignorant, close-minded or power hungry individuals.
20.I would prefer to die peacefully. I don’t want to suffer. I use to want to die in my sleep until I experienced first hand how traumatizing that is for your family. So now I really don’t know.
1.What is your idea of perfect happiness?
ReplyDeleteMy idea of perfect happiness is to enjoy life to a maximum and to be able to share the best moments of my life with the ones I love.
