Depth and Complexity

Today we had no Quick Write.
Wednesday.


  1. Language of the Discipline- everything has its own slang: swag, OMG, LOL, scrubs, toilet-washers, kings and queens, LMFAO.
  2. Details- when you focus on a small part, what do you see: at our lockers- more often than not, you will see people at their lockers with somebody, usually their friend.
  3. Patterns- what things repeat in the same order: breaks- every weekend we have a 2 day break, every winter we get a 3 week break, every spring we get a 1 week break and every summer we get a 10 week break.
  4. Trends- how things are changing over time: maturity- the older you get, the maturer you get, but for most boys there is a delay compared to girls.
  5. Rules- what things have to be the way they are: dress code- girls can't wear booty shorts, tank tops, or opened toed shoes.; boys can't sag or wear hats.
  6. Ethics- how do questions of right and wrong come up: going out- is it okay for girls to ask out guys or does that make them seem desperate or does it depend?
  7. Big Idea- how can you sum up the subject in one phrase: comparison- harder than sixth grade but better than sixth grade.
  8. Unanswered Questions- what would you like to know about this subject: health- what will health be like?
