The Eye of the Storm
Hey class,
I hope everyone is safe and dry while anticipating the hurricane Sally. I am really not sure what to expect. The news is saying that this is the worse storm to hit NYC in 70 years they also made a big deal out of hurricane Irene which ended up being nothing.
As you know schools are closed today and tomorrow. During this time I hope that you are writing in your observation logs about what you are seeing and what is going on in streets and buildings around you. This could very well be a storm that you remember for the rest of your lives. I will never forget hurricane Gloria, it hit Long Island in 1985 it was such a big deal, I remember my parents putting boards on our windows and the entire town shut down.
Watch this video from ABC news
For Social Studies homework I want you to describe why Sandy is 'Super Storm.' For extra credit research a devastating hurricane that has hit the United States in the past decade.
...ahhhh the magic ....

The Media Won the Debate
Less than a week after the first presidential debate and about four weeks until the general election it seems to me that the media is winning, hands down.
It is the sensationalism that drives the media, not balanced budgets and the growth of the middle class. At the end of the they are just trying to sell papers. The headlines of major newspapers (see link) make the debate to a type of sport not a comparison of ideas, plans and visions. Quite simply American love Hollywood style headlines.
The election as always will come down to the 'undecided voter.' To me I really don't understand, what makes someone make up their mind? The two candidate and directions for our country couldn't be more different, is it a 'winning debate' or is it whomever the media's darling is that week?
This week think about how you have gathered information about the presidential candidates. Post a comment on how you have formed your opinions and where you have gotten your information from.
