Action Figure


The action figure is:  Batman and Robin in the Silver Age.  Thanks for your effort his year!  Good luck on 2-hour presentations! 

(1) Batman and Robin are superheroes that are human. 

Superheroes:
·      281 record at the first dance
·      4300 cans
·      Interception and touchdown to win Powder Puff
·      7 solid dilatory calls and some great speeches and effective use of the rules at Model Assembly
·      Some incredible contacts and service learning in senior project
·      Our best success in science fair
·      Strong showing in other spots such as independent components and exit interviews
·      And much more

At the same time, the human-side shows when times have been challenging/difficult but like Batman and Robin after a little chaos, 2012 regroups and steps up.

(2) Batman and Robin: Devotion to the city

I think the prom best illustrated the devotion to the class of 2012 each member had when Karen announced the prom king and queen. 2012 roared in celebration for 2012!  I also saw this devotion to the class in anytime we had an event or when times were difficult and folks needed to step up for each other.

I also observed devotion to iPoly throughout the year in many events/activities/lessons.

(3) Dynamic Duo

Batman and Robin have had their ups and downs through the different versions of Robin, but their superhero expectation and devotion results in them to regroup and help.  

I observed a number of temporary conflicts throughout the year for some duos in the class, but I also saw some reaching out by the duos to help each other in times of need.

(4) Batman of the Silver Age

Batman during this era worked alongside others such as superheroes, police chiefs, batgirl, robin etc, which is what this class did all year with 2013.   We worked on a number of things with them.    Batman also worked alone which this class did to pull of superheroes status.

Prom Photography Update

*Blog 26:  2-Hour Presentation Rough Draft is due Friday by 8AM.  Remember that your final is due to the host teacher by 2:30 PM, the day before your 2-Hour.

I called Clifford.  Clifford said they would offer the additional package of $15 per person deal.  

$15 gets you 1 5 x 7 and 4 Wallets.    If for example, two of you take a photo together, it would cost you $15 per person or $30 total and you would get 1 5 x 7 and 4 Wallets each or 2 5 x 7s and 8 Wallets.
