By the way...

Gotta get this off my chest: I am really not the type of person to flaunt my successes and stuff. But, I do it, always jokingly, because yall in particular always joke around about how vain and cocky I am, and that's fine. I think it's funny. I just hope that yall can differentiate between when I'm kidding and when I'm serious, because....I'm never serious. I hate people like that. Had to say it.

George Orwell Quote

Coincidence?: the quote of the day on my Google start page is this:
"On the whole human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time."
-George Orwell

study guides

hey mrs. moon, would it be possible to get all the study guides not including the ones from book 2 of 1984? If not, and you wish to make a point about organization, i will understand, but if it is possible, it would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
Julian.

How about a quiz?

Aaarrrgghhh

I can't see any comments on the blog! This is frustrating! Anyone know the deal?

Kat, about your come-on to me in class today

i really do like you a lot, and you're such a nice girl..
but i'm going to have to sadly reject your invitation.

hmm....

Mrs. Moon,
Today in class you said to read through Goldsteins book---- but the calendar says to read only to 152--- which is right before the letters...... Which is correct? Did I hear you wrong?

Let me know
Kat

Old pictures

Here I am during my student teaching days at New Hanover. Do you think I look different?

And check out a young Taylor! So sweet and innocent! (Look at Raleigh! Ha!)

oh my god

holy crap im so hungover i drank like 30 beers and puked m guts out all over the tv. i don't know what happened last night. i dot remember anything about the past 48 hours. i woke up in a field this morning eating the carcass of a deer

Helo Class

So Mrs. Moon, You know how when I left Thursday from school because I was sick.... Well I ended up running a fever that day and had a crazy cough and headache through out the weekend---- clearly not faking...
Any ways, I was wondering what pages we needed to read through for 1984? Are we still on track? And, when is our book report due? has there been a decision made about that yet?

You Swallow Propaganda Like A Birth Control Pill, Selling Your Soul To The Eye On Back Of The Dollar Bill

"Cause the heart that betrays itself willingly,
it's like a nation, that trades freedom for stability.
It's so seductive to be cold and corrupted,
and isolated, trying to be an independent republic.
But liberty, to be loved on the surface is worthless,
the sacrifice of revolution with no purpose.
Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption,
cursing the God, desperately trying to get his attention!"

!viva la revolucion!

Can you spot the typo?

Lovely.

Cmon

Classmates, if we are going to have Blog Wars, you people need to start responding to some of the attacks and insults that are being thrown around! MRS. MOON CALLED US KIDS!!!! WE AREN'T KIDS!!!!!!

YOU have now ENTERED.....

the school of CONFUCIOUS!!!!!

Be nice, kids

Yay for the intellectual debate we are having.

However, we must be kind and respectful to each other's opinions. The great thing about teaching smart kids is the fact that I don't have to worry about pettiness creeping in.

We must be able to hear each other while really listening, process another's opinion, and either agree or respectfully disagree.

No yelling or talking over each other will be tolerated in class. I want to finish our anticipation guide tomorrow, and hopefully we can.

Great class today! I've been bragging to all my teacher friends about how great you all are and how interesting our discussion was today. I'm so lucky!

Let's be able to continue this. Trust me, you all will want to be able to have discussions as we read 1984!

Hmmmm...

It have come to my attention that there are many idealists in this class, and a few realists. To the idealists: I would be one of you, if we live in perfect world. But we do not. Idealism has been exemplified in history many time to be ineffective. Ever hear of prohibition, the Kellog-Briand Pact of the 1920's, isolationism of the 30's, etc? All were unrealistic, but were idealistic, and ended up causing more problems than they solved. So that is reason why I am a realist, because the world is not perfect, and you have to approach problems with realistic solutions and not try to abide by certain principles that (you think) are set in stone. Principles may guide you in your thinking, but there always is a gray area, and principles can not always be counted on. It is this way, and only this way, that progress is ever made. Do you think that if we lived in the 80's idealists would have supported Reagan's expansion of the military? No, and while it was (and still is) controversial from both perspectives, you could not have counted on the USSR to decrease the size of their military if Reagan had followed an idealistic approach such as a decrease in the size of the US military. Reagan's solution was....realistic, and now we have the ability to maintain a classroom discussion over simpler things without worrying about a nuclear holocaust.

The government put me on a list for listening to this

An INTERVIEW BY THAT ARTIST

Hint, hint

So, for tonight's reading, you may want to make yourself a little chart of what exactly goes in A, B, & C Vocabulary. It's a little difficult to comprehend, so making a chart may help you with your quiz tomorrow...

Read slowly for now. But, don't worry, the rest isn't written in that manner at all.

Don't forget we are in the lab tomorrow at 10:20. Meet in my room.

I heard you guys were talking about me today.

I know and see all.
