Ms. Lindsey Foreman Edgewood Middle School 7th Grade English What I love most about my job: each day brings a new adventure!

My all time favorites:
-Movie: Center Stage - I could watch it 100 times in one week! -Book: My Sister's Keeper -Band/Artist: John Mayer -Travel Destination: Europe -Quote: "Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."



Burning Question:
I could not think of a question, so I asked a friend and this is what he came up with. Sorry if this offends anyone, seeing that this was just in the news this past week.


 * Question: If the black box of a plane is indestructable, why don't they make the whole plane out of the same material?**

Digital Citzenship The video I found on Youtube is not one I think is appropriate to show in my classroom, but it is a video that I found so sad. This video is a short rememberance video to children who have committed suicide because of types of bullying like cyberbullying. I know it happens every day because I have seen it on the news, seen it written about, seen TV shows such as Law and Order create story lines based off real stories, and I have encountered it both in high school when a boy ended his life because of it and once with a student who was devasted by it. As I stated, I doubt I would ever use this video in my classroom, but I wish I could show something that properly shows the impact cybebullying has on people. I feel a lot of students find it to be a big joke and do not realize how much they are truly hurting someone. We all have the right to Digital Communication, but some abuse this privledge.

Digital Storytelling: For this last assignment, I decided to create a short story all about me as well as my classroom. I plan to use this video during Open House to let the parents see a little of who I am and what I will be teaching this year. Please note: the slideshow just sort of ends. This is because I plan on showing another video (one I am still trying to figure out how to embed) that goes along with an activity I do the first week of school. The parents love the second video, so I am hoping they will also enjoy getting to know me through this digital storytelling.
