January 15 & 16 Journal

Hi. I am working in the office today. Be on your best behavior for Ms. Waller, she's my good friend. You have 20 minutes in Study Island to get rid of any red triangles. Don't forget to work on the submissions for Special Day and any outstanding essays (you should have 9 scores for mandatory essays). Ms. Waller will be collecting your Study Island Notebooks today. If you don't turn in the notes today you may turn them in at the next class, but 10 points will be deducted for not meeting the deadline. Remember I can watch you through my webcam.


  1. Did you know that "fish" and "extra" have the same pronunciation in Chinese? It is customary to have a dish of whole fish for the feast on Chinese New Year's eve. What connection could you make between why "fish" and "extra" would bring good luck to the Chinese culture?

  2. Martin Luther King Jr. was born on Jan 15 in 1929. He believed in equal rights for all people. Explain what having equal rights means.

People are the same no matter what they look like.

  70. What having equal rights mean is that everybody is the same. So that means that blcaks, mexicans,Asians and whites get to share everything the same. Like we share the same bathroom and the teachers schools and the restruant and the same neighborhood and the same everything. So having equal rights means that eveybody is treated the same and not differnet. Becaus eback then whites and black had seprated everything. Blacks had rundown things and Whites had everything good and everything was working good and there water was good but the Blacks had dirty water founains and dirty bathrooms and everything was dirty. But now that has cahnged in some countrys. But equal means the same so we are all the same no matter what.
