Hello everyone I hope you all are having a great day, week, month, and LIFE!
So this post is for November 3-9. I was unable to blog due to the rain, my crappy internet was down. WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!! That’s what this week was. The presidential election was on Tuesday! I voted of OBAMA! And I was extremely pleased with the outcome. I even did a ASL video project on his victory (that did not turn out so well).
I presented my second lesson plan and I admit I was quite pleased with my performance and the result of the second assignment. Because if you have been reading my blogs you would know that I F—king chocked on the first one.
I got back a midterm that I left scratching my head, and to my astonishment I got an –A. This brings me to Friday. The day I teach the JA material.
November 7th 8am. This is the time that I teach the JA material. I don’t know if the other peeps in the class except for Britney, go and meet with their teacher each week prior to their normal teaching day? Howard Rose (the Econ Teacher) and my self meet every Wednesday to review the material and develop a game plan for that Fridays class. I find this extremely helpful because it forces you to become more organized and prepared for the upcoming lesson.
However, I found out that not everything always goes as planned. So on Friday I went into class even more prepared than normal because I wanted to be fluid and show the teacher that I can run his class like a pro. So I started reviewing last weeks lesson asking questions to get their brains working. The class was fairly responsive answered all of my questions and asked a few questions themselves. The lesson consisted of introducing problems in the workplace and how vital communication is, then you transition into a movie. However, this is where the fun begins because the DVD player was inoperable.
When Howard and my self attempted to fix the problem a normal respectful and quiet class erupted like Mt. Vesuvius! Rapidly I was faced with something that I was unprepared for- ravenous kids bent on talking! I remember thinking to myself I must do something to stop this talking. But my mind was blank. I was saying common Jordan Fucking think of something calm down think, think, think!!! Yet, to no avail my mind remained blank. I asked the class to calm down but only three students stopped talking. He looked at me and said under his breath I got to get these kids to shut the fuck up! Then Mr. Rose began yelling and the entire class became quiet. He promptly developed a new game plan and everything was golden.

After an activity a girl asked me a question: Why do you tell girls that they must wear slack to an interview? Why should I wear slacks to an interview at Starbucks? I explained the answer and I asked her if she works and how do people dress when they apply for a job at her workplace? Her response was the answer to both of our questions! She went on to explain story how a female attempted to apply for a job. The student said the girls had tattoos on neck, gangster makeup, and two giant steel balls on her chin! The entire class began laughing she concluded her story. Class was almost over and I began reviewing the lesson of the day. I told the class the following:
Do you know what is so great about America? Liberty! The freedom to choose! We all have the freedom to choose what we want to do in life and how we portray our selves to society. I have no problem with tattoos and piercings- what you want to do with yourself is your business. That is what’s so great about America. However, what I want you to think about the outcome of you choices in an interview. If you have dirty stained clothes, tattoos on your face or neck or great big balls on your chin...(hahahah)… your interview will be ruined because the he or she is not focused on you.
