Time article







1. I think Ecological Intelligence is like knowing the hidden impacts of what we but can change everything.




2. This connects to our project essential questions because in the article it does talk about how the people don't care. Like fore example where so picky that we have to have that specific green T-shirt and we don't even think of the process it goes through and the resources that are used just for only one shirt. But if we could seamlessly calculate the full lifetime effect in our actions on the earth and if we could think ecologically it would make a difference.




3. I think my ecological intelligence isn't high because i don't know much about it. But sometimes I'm aware of how much i waste so i think about what i can do like turning off the light when i don't need it or i try not to waste lots of paper and try to recycle.

Living Green :]




1. What strikes me about this film is to see how these people work so hard to live sustainably. How hard they work to be more caring about the world. Like they grow there own food and eat healthy. They walk or ride there bikes instead of driving. And how they use cooking tools to make there food instead of plugging in things.


2. In this film i think the Dervaes family is equal with the needs and wants. I think this because living green for them is a want but also a need because they need the things to grow everything.


3. I think how this film would fit to My Ishmael is because in the book Julie complained how the world was really selfish and not caring and how where all gonna die because of that. But this film is the total opposite of the book because these people actually care and aren't selfish.


4. My thoughts on this film is really good i liked how this people care about the world and care about trying to make things look good. And i liked how these people lived healthy and sustainable.

Assignment 2009 :]


1.) What i think it means to live sustainably is well depending on what your talking about there are two meaning to it.One meaning is like someone who sustains for you. For example my dad sustains me by giving me shelter, food,love,education, and support. And another meaning is like someone who sustains something like to support it and take care of it, not to let it fall.


2.) As a 14 year old i think that we have lots of freedom. Like we have the freedom of speech, the freedom to go where we want, the freedom to dress how we want, and almost to do what we want but not always. But even though we have a lot of freedom we have our limits. Like we can't steal, murder, cheat school, and do drugs.


3.)What i think i could do to make my life more sustainable is by being responsible. Like obey your parents and teacher's and follow rules. Making good decisions will help to because good decisions means good consequences and bad decisions means bad consequences. And being good in school is really important because being good in school well lead you to a good future and a good life.

Semester Goals


My goals this semester is to pay attention more in class and not let things distract me. And to keep track off my homework and do it and get it in on time. And also really try to get good grades this semester. Even if it takes going to tutoring and going to office hours. My top goal is to pass this semester.


1. How are you different now than when you started school in August?


I think i am different know because after experiencing last semester. I know more of what to do and what to expect. And this semester gives me a new fresh start (sorta)


2. What skills do you think are the most important for succeeding in Humanities? Why?


Keeping track of homework and going to office hours would help students and me to succeed. Because being lazy and not doing the work will slow you down. And if you do keep track of your homework and use your teachers to help you understand the homework and get it done will really help.
3. One thing I would like to improve on this semester is....I am going to do this by....


One thing i would like to improve is my writing. And I'm going to do this by using w.e.x as a practice. And having the time to sit down and write on my own time and using the skills I've learned in class will help me become a better writer.


4. What are you most curious about? If you could study any topic, what would you study and why?


probably the most curious thing i would like to study is our own culture. Because not all of us know everything of our own individual culture. And it would be interesting to learn how our people lived and experienced in the beginning and seeing how the worlds changed.
