Do you want to be tracked? What's wrong with a person being tracked?
i definatly do not want to be tracked.it is wrong to track a person because people want their privecy they dont want people knowing what they are doing every minute, or evey little thing they do.on the other hand it is good to be tracked because it can help track when you are lost or when something of yours that is personal is lost it can esaly be found by the RFID.but then again it is freaky knowing that someone knows what you are doing.

Favorite Movie

1) What are your five favorite movies that you have seen on dvd? (not recently in a movie theater)
my five favortie movies are:Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, Gracie, Blades of Glory, One Night with the King and Blood Diamond.

Dirty Dancing Havana Nights is about Katey Miller who is an 18-year-old girl who is about to have the time of her life, even if she doesn't know it. When her father Bert Miller is transferred to Havana in 1958, just before Katey's senior year in high school, the whole family relocates to the exotic locale, moving into a luxurious hotel filled with Americans as Cuba teeters on the brink of revolution. Bookish Katey is mesmerized by the raw intensity of the dancing she sees in a public square one afternoon--and by Javier, a Cuban pool boy that works at her hotel. Soon, Katey and Javier are heating up the dance floor, combining his Latin moves with her formal ballroom training. With some inspiration from the hotel dance instructor, played by none other than the original dirty dancer Patrick Swayze, Katey enters a Latin ballroom dance competition. Based on co-producer and choreographer JoAnn Jansen's own experiences as an American teenager in Cuba, DIRTY DANCING: HAVANA NIGHTS comes to the screen 17 years after the original DIRTY DANCING debuted. This coming-of-age film also features Sela Ward as Katey's mother.

Gracie is about GRACIE is loosely based on Shue’s life in suburban New Jersey, and stars Carly Schroeder as Gracie Bowen, a woman with a passion for soccer. But Gracie is overlooked by her domineering father (Dermot Mulroney), a former soccer star who feverishly coaches her three brothers, mostly focusing on the oldest sibling, Johnny .Johnny is the captain of Columbia High’s soccer team and Gracie’s biggest supporter and mentor, but his superstardom is tragically ended when he dies in a car accident. Since her high school does not have a girls' soccer team, Gracie decides to honor her brother’s legacy by trying out for the boys' team, hoping to take her brother’s place. Appalled by her outlandish suggestion, her family does not support her dream, and as a result she becomes reckless and defiant, hanging with the wrong crowd and neglecting her studies. Gracie’s father recognizes what they need to do to get her back on track, so he coaches her full-time while also appealing to the school board to let her try out for the boys' team. Unfortunately the stakes are high for Gracie to prove herself to her potential coach and teammates, who pummel her with endless ridicule and harassment. GRACIE is not only an inspirational movie for female athletes of all ages, but also an endearing family film. The movie is dedicated to the memory of Will Shue--the late brother of Elisabeth and Andrew Shue, who both produce and appear in the film.

Walkout is about this true story of a student protest in East Los Angeles in 1968. Led by Paula Crisostomo (Alexa Vega), a number of Chicano students walk out of their high school. The teens want to voice their opposition to the racist policies they encounter on a daily basis. With the help of a concerned teacher played by Michael Peña (WORLD TRADE CENTER), Paula organizes students from five area schools to join the historic demonstration. Featuring an all-star cast, WALKOUT tells the personal and political story of a group of students who worked to change the world.

One Night with the King is about a girl who the king falls in love with and she gets married to him so she can save her people since the king was going to sent to kill the Jews. since the king fell in love with her she was some waht the only one that can save her people from dieing.it is from a bibical story.

Blood Diamond is about people from West Africa who smuggle diamonds to the U.S and the people there are treated baddly.kids are taken away from their parents and are showed how to use guns and the use drugs.it is a intresting movie.

1.What can students do to close the Achievement Gap?
Students can do many things to close the Achievement Gap.For example they can try to work to their full poteniol.They can also study real hard to get higher scores on their tests.Students can close the gap if they put their minds to it.Students need to stop being lazy an start to do what is need.
2.What can parents do to close the Achievemant Gap?
What parents can do to close the Achievement Gap is to see them selves as their childs teacher.They can also check if their child did the homework and explain it to them.They can make confrences with their childs teacher to see what they need help on so later in the future they can help them.
3.What can teachers do toclose the Achievement Gap?
Teachers can try to help the student with what they can.Also what they can do to close the gap is to not give up on their students.Even though the student dosen't bring the homework in everyday the teacher should not lower their expectations.Teachers can also encourage their student with what they need help on.The teacher can also help the student on the classes they are failing.
4.What can schools do to cloce the Achievement Gap?
What schools can do to close the Achievement Gap is to make specific classes.What I mean by specific classes is that if the student needs help on math they should put that student in an extra math class.It can be for any class,English,sience etc.Schools can also have after school programs or after school classes so that if students need help on any class they can go there.Schools can try there best on to closing the Achievement Gap.

The meaning to Stop Hurting Yourself means to stop hurting your body and yourself.You can hurt it in many different ways.For example you can hurt it by cutting your self for no reason or by drinking just to think that you can solve your problems like that.I think Mr.Hsu put it up there because he might have seen a person hurting themselves for no reason.There is this one girl that brought Teqila to school and started to drink it.She drank so much that she trow up and she fainted in class.This situation affected many people.For example it didn't only affectted her but it also effected her family,friends,and school.This student hurt herself real bad but the most important thing is that she learned her leason.

"Failure is how we learn".I agree with this quote becausewe do learn from what we fail.One failure that I learn from myself is that i should never give up and to keep on trying.The failure affected me by always telling my self to never give up.I learn to never give up.Probbably because we need to learn from our mistakes.

I think that the theme of this movie is to try to make the world a bit more better its the whole world that we need in order to do this.The character that I find the most intresting is Trever.I find him intresting because he is the one who started the whole pay it fowared thing.I would put the same characters but Trever.I would make them do the pay it fowared but with a bit more excitment.Also with more new characters.

i think it does work for 9th graders to do this project.that way they get to know each other better.i also think it did gave an effect on the students because they got to know each other a bit more.if this activity invloved the 10th and 11th graders i think it will be better because in the future they would probbably do better.if the activity continued for the rest of the year it might get boring because the angel might run out of ideas to do to their chosen one unless they switch once in a while.then on i think this project is good for all grades.
