CLP Today, Really Hard Simpsons Stuff.

Hi.

It's Tuesday. Traditionally one of the lousiest days of the week. I got to CLP this morning at 7:15 a.m., ready for my 1st period class. It went well. We played a little warm-up game having to do with visual perception. The kids loved it. Then, we got to work on the balance of the Scavenger Hunts. Most of the "Skateboard" kids are plowing through it, as are the "Cute Guys" kids (most of the girls and one guy.) The "Simpsons" kids are in a world of hurt. This is by far the hardest of the three Scavenger Hunts and for the most part, the less advanced kids in the class are working on this Hunt. I have had to carve back the expectations on this a little bit. Who knew that the Simpson's could be so tough?

Want a taste? Try finding the answers to these Simpson's Trivia Questions online:

• What is the address of the Simpson house?


• In the thrilling two-part cliffhanger "Who Shot Mr. Burns" what
  was the motive for gunning down Springfield's evil billionaire nuclear-plant
  owner?


• How long does it take to create one episode of the Simpsons?


• What is the cheapest you can find a copy of the Simpsons Monopoly game for
  sale online?


• What famous actor played Sideshow Bob?


• Name five characters on the Simpsons voiced by actor Hank Azaria?


• How did the Simpsons get “Santa’s Little Helper”?


• Describe three different “couch gags” from The Simpsons?


• How much is a “Triple Double Burger” at the Krusty Burger drive-thru?


• What is the license plate number on Marge’s car?

We had Mr. Denise in class again today, going over the use of tables as the foundations for websites. I really enjoy having him in class as a new teacher, as I am getting a new perspective on Classroom Discipline. Apparently, he and Mr. Jewett will be switching classes through next week, so that they have time to finish their projects.

Fifth period was Computer Productions and the kids are finishing up their business websites.

Then we had our "Business Methods" class at CSU and things went right down the toilet.
