Days 25-31

Past week: personal stuff, sick and such.

Tuesday Day 25:
Today I went to Rumpolo's 8th period class and gave out the survey. I introduced myself and spoke infront of the class briefly about environmental issues. I talked about what my project was really about and it was a bit scary, but I lived. I handed out the surveys and I realized how difficult it is to get the class's attention when they are busy talking. I began to feel sympathy for teachers who cannot gain control of their class and I really don't understand how they do it. They must have some remarkable skill to get the FULL attention of these freshmen.

Mr. Rumpolo also gave out the survey to his 10th period class and they filled it out as well.
I found it interesting that when I asked the class, "Who knows anything about the environmental issues today? ANYTHING?" Not one person answered but then when the surveys were returned, many of them said that on a scale from 1-5, they would say they have the knowledge of level 3. Interesting.


Wednesday Day 26:
WISE meeting today. Some commercial from DEVRY came by and talked to us about future career paths. Although my final result was not agreeable, it was still fun. My reading said, OBSERVER: You are sponateous and you have an easy going nature. NOW THAT'S FUNNY.
I also gave out my survey to be filled out by the WISE class, a group of seniors.

Thursday and on : sick and such. Life's great.

NOTE TO SELF. RETURN THAT LIBRARY BOOK ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE!
