paper tower
Posted Wednesday February 7 2007, 5:51 pm
14/f
In one of my classes, we were put into groups of 4 and told to think of ideas how to design the tallest freestanding paper tower, using only 1 sheet of paper, 8 1/2 x 11, and 6 inches of scotch tape. It's being graded, and the tower has to be at least 30 inches tall in order for us to pass. 40 inches will get me a decent grade. The tower can't be taped to the floor or hanging from anything, and tape cant be added for height. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do? I need this for tomorrow [2/8] so im kind of desperate.

Is the N word a good word to use?
Posted Wednesday February 7 2007, 1:46 pm
OK me again?i like argue with people over the "N" word.especially african american men.They feel the word is alright and i feel it sn't because of it's history.I feel the word should be erased completely because it holds us back.I don't think there should be any double standard on the word becaus it's worng for a white man as well as a black man to use it.So I just want us to understand things on a higher level.So all i am asking is your opinion. Thanks!

is it wrong?
Posted Wednesday February 7 2007, 1:43 pm
okay this is particularly aimed at blacks but the white community is welcome for their imput.We were just talking about assimilation in the black community and assimilation is making oneself like a nother race.Our teacher feels that perming hair and other things we do in the black community is taking away from what we really are.He believes that we make ourselves like european culture because that's what we feel is beatiful.Now if a women with an afro came into a predominatly black school- she would be teased,right?So basically i am asking what do we as a race find beautiful?IS it permed hair or natural hair?whatever! what is beautiful in our eyes?

SATS
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 7:41 pm
okay so im really worried about the SATS. i took the PSATS in october & lets just say i didn't do so hot. i got half right! i've been studying for a few weeks now & im taking them in march. i have the collegeboard SAT book & the Barron's math book [since math is my low point]. i really don't know what to do. im trying to get as much done as i can but a lot of this stuff just makes 0 sense to me. i didn't take a course on it because there aren't ones offered at my school & a lot of them are extremely expensive. basically, what else can i do?? am i completely hopeless with the SATS??
thanks!!

the lion and the polar bear
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 12:39 pm
so i wrote a story and i'm really interested to get some responses, if you don't like it don't try to be nice, just tell me.
It's supposed to be from the point of view of a seven year old girl, that's why it doesn't sound like the way you or i would think, i am just trying to get a child's point of view of a difficult situation.
also, please tell me if you understand the symbolism of the lion and the polar bear, if nobody understands it i will change it.
thanks! so muchhhh

Debate Club!
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 9:38 am
Ok so, I'm starting a debate club at school, I think I have like sixteen people interested, but that number will probably increase by five to ten people. We've never had a debate club at school before, and though I know how a debate is set up, kind of, I have no idea how the teams are made, like will there be 8 people on each side or what? :/
I want people who have been in a debate club to tell me how they did things at school, just so I can get a general idea.
Any tips and advice are nice, but tell me how I set up the teams. Do I have different teams debating different things in groups of four con and four pro, or what?
Oh, and what are any topics you've debated that turned out to be really interesting and informative?

Robber Barons Debate! Oh No!
Posted Monday February 5 2007, 12:23 am
In my history class we are doing a debate project. The topic I was assigned was "Business Men of the Guilded Age: Captains of Industry or Robber Barons?" I have to argue the Robber Barons side. Now, I've Googled this, but I can't find a website that tells you WHY they are considered Robber Barons. I know they used children workers and make people work a lot, and cheated, but I don't know details, and I need them. I was absent from school for a week, so I missed the class discussion, and this is due Tuesday (my teacher is no help). If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm so nervous. I can never do presentations in front of my
Posted Sunday February 4 2007, 8:09 pm
I'm generally not a shy person, but when you put me up in front of my whole entire class...things change. I either turn really red, forget everything, start shaking, etc. I was absent, so I couldn't help my partner with a project and the day I went back, the teacher told me that I had to do it by myself. Now, I have to go up in front of my class and present an African Fable with a moral that I made up. It sounds so stupid and plus we have to MEMORIZE it! She won't even let us use our paper, which is going to make me even more nervous since I have nothing to hold. We also have to draw a picture and I'm not the best drawer, so that's just going to make it even more embaressing. Everyone else in my class had a partner, but since I'm by myself....
