Here is a video of a day we spent at the beach last week, building a sand sculpture to symbolize our magnet:

Our 8th grade advisories are called "magnets". I advise the Food Magnet. Here is a video of a day we spent at the beach last week, building a sand sculpture to symbolize our magnet: A Day at the Beach from John Fladd on Vimeo. We've got a really good group this year.

My students and I rate look at, smell, etc... each food, then taste it and discuss it before assigning it a score. 1 = "I wouldn't eat this with YOUR mouth!" 10 = "I would run over my grandmother in a parking lot to get more of this!"
I don't have a cute story behind this REALLY fun new toy; it's just cool. The movie poster tool at BigHugeLabs.com lets you create extremely realistic, very cool movie posters. You can upload your own photo or use one from your favorite photo-sharing site. You can add any credits you want, select a rating and even add a release date. When you think you're done, you can look at the finished poster, then go back and edit it to tweak it until it looks just the way you want it to. When you really are done, you can save your image to your hard drive or purchase a large, professionally printed copy for yourself. I've been playing with this for the past couple of days and I'm having WAY too much fun with it. Here are some other movie posters I've made over the past day or two: For the past three years, my advisory group, the Food Magnet, has sponsored a competition among the other 8th grade magnets in our school. It is based on the television reality show Top Chef and is called the "Slow Fire" Challenge. |
