PLN #7

As usual I was skimming through the mountain of articles and I found this great article in the Denver post about a plan to close eight Denver public schools to save money for the remaining schools. This means that by next year there will be fewer Denver schools to chose from. So if you had you heart set on one of the closing schools your out of luck. Personally this is a vary bad idea because many students that go to and are coming to these schools will not get the privilege to go there. In addition the remaining schools will be vary crowded for some time until the new schools are reformed.I'm wondering how the students will react to this.



What matters? what matters is the well fair of the students and teachers being kicked out of these schools. Some of these students have been going to these schools for up to four years or more. How would you feel getting put in a whole new environment with different people and different teachers? I no that I would not enjoy being without friends and other people that I have known for a long time I think it is to early to tell how these changes will affect the district. What does this mean for the students. The students will be place in these new reformed schools in hopes of a better eduction. One school in particular will focus mainly on teaching English to foreign kids. Personally I don't know what the future will look like for Denver public schools but hopefully its bright.



How does this affect Colorado? Colorado will be a better teacher to kids from in the U.S. as well as from other country's. It would be even better if other school districts did the same thing because students would have a better opportunity to get a scholarship or just graduate. My hope is that more districts will take the same approach to a better education for kids all over Colorado.

You did a lot better on making eye contact and speaking more fluently! You talked about all of your ideas and how it related to you. I like how you stated some questions that you had.

Carter good presentation, you did a lot better this time then last time, for your next presentation just relax and do your presentation, its not like were going to laugh at you, we like to hear your thoughts, so it shouldnt be that nerve racking. Besides that good job.

Averee said...

Great eye contact! You memorized parts of your presentation, so you seemed very confident in yourself and your presentation. Your voice kind of went in and out, so it ws hard to hear you at some points, so try working on the volume you set your voice at.

samh said...

Carter, I thought you did a pretty good job. You could do a better job speaking louder and clearer, but pretty good all in all.

Carter, you made really good eye contact but I think it would have been better if you didn't hold your paper so low. You were clear and you did a really good job!

angelicao said...

You seemed very nervous at first but you did a very good job at making eye contact, speaking loud and clear and with describing you pln enetries. It must be very hard to have to do you presentations so close together

DennisRocks said...

Good job Carter! You did a great job explaining your topics to me. You were a very clear speaker too. Next time try not to sound so nervous.

CARTER, good job on your presentation. An answer to your question: I don't think that they should close the school, because the teachers would lose theur jos and the students might be able to afford to go anywhere else. But then again, if there isn't enough money, you can't really keep it open.

Carter! You did an amazing job. Your kept a steady pace and talked loud and clear. Your questions at the end were really good because it started up a good conversation. Once again you did really really good.
