Today's Agenda!

Rules to Live By - Placeholder Text for Poster

We define ourselves through helping others. Throughout our expedition, Rules to Live By, this rule has helped me succeed. My research of the union organizer, Dolores Huerta, a service-learning experience at Reiche Elementary and an interview with my grandmother, helped me discover the truth of this rule to live by.
Dolores Huerta, a union organizer, defined herself as a caring and empathetic person through her work with farm workers.In the 1960s and 70s, she helped them achieve improved working conditions by organizing unions like the Community Services Organization (CSO) and the United Farm Workers UFW. These unions helped negotiate better contracts for workers and reduce the use of poisonous chemicals in crops. Growing up, Dolores had first hand experience with the poverty and racism experienced by farmworkers. This inspired her to improve their situation. This work eventually earned her great awards like the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which is the highest civilian award in the United States, in 2012.
Recently, I visited Reiche Elementary School for our service-learning experience. This outing helped me discover the joy of helping others. My classmates and I read books to third graders and played with them at recess. I was paired with two boys, Abdi and Oscar. These boys struggled to read. I did my best to help them understand their books. Hopefully, my time with them helped get them closer to achieving their goal of becoming stronger readers. Volunteering at Reiche made me realize how fun and rewarding it is to help others.
When my classmates and I interviewed the Seadog’s VP of operations, Chris Jenkins, I learned that sometimes you can help others in small ways, yet make a huge difference. Jenkins started in the concession stands and now he’s VP of operations. He talked about the importance of doing your best at your job. Jenkins was known as the best helper in his department. His helpful nature in concessions, helped him become known as a “go-getter” or someone who “gets the job done.” This eventually opened doors for his position as VP of operations.

Claim/Evidence Assessment #3

This assignment is only for people who are still trying to hit the target for the following learning target: "I can use evidence from the text to support a claim." If you hit the target on the Dolores Huerta assessment, you do not need to complete this assessment.

Read the following article:
Doctor says it's best to keep volume at medium or lower with ear buds
https://newsela.com/articles/headphone-earbuds/id/24095/

Find at least TWO pieces of evidence that support this claim: "EAR BUDS CAN CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE." Once you've highlighted the evidence, write an analysis (See my example below). Your analysis explains how the evidence supports the claim. When you've completed this assessment, make sure to tell Mr. Shaddox.

Class #8 - You Are the Expert! Discussion Preparation

Our class is going to have a class discussion called You Are The Expert!

Each student will play the role of a different person involved in the current Zika issue: Mother, Bee Keeper, Scientist, Business Owner and Governor of Florida. Each student will be given a new source to read and use in the discussion. The source will give you new evidence to use for backing up your claims.

Here's the game plan:

Today

• Students assigned their roles
• Students given sources and claims
• Students read sources and highlight evidence to support claims (in Pages)
• Find an additional source to use in the discussion -- become the expert!

Friday (Blue, Silver, Pink) & Monday (Maroon)

• Text-based discussion

South Florida beekeepers concerned about effects of Zika spraying

Vocabulary: Beekeeper, insecticide, Naled, spray, pollinate

Beekeepers in Florida are getting nervous. They are worried about Naled spraying. Naled is an insecticide. An insecticide is a chemical that kills insects. They are scared Naled will affect their bee hives.

Naled is used to kill mosquitoes. The mosquitoes can carry the Zika virus. In South Florida, people have gotten sick and died because of Zika. Naled is killing mosquitoes, but it’s also killing bees.

More than 2.5 million bees died on one farm in South Carolina after one spraying for mosquitoes. Naled, the same chemical being used to kill mosquitoes in Zika-affected areas in South Florida, was sprayed on the hives.

Lee Del Signore is a beekeeper. A beekeeper keeps bees to collect their honey and other products that a beehive produces. A beehive can produce beeswax, propolis, pollen, and royal jelly. A beekeeper also uses their bees to pollinate crops, which helps them grow.

Lee has worked as a beekeeper in South Florida for half his life.

He is scared of what could happen to his bees if they spray near him.

He said, “It’s not good for the bees because that mass spray is like a fog. It falls down to the ground like a fog. And whatever it contacts, it’s going to die.”

This could cause beekeepers to lose a lot of money. Over 13 million pounds of honey are produced every year. The honey makes beekeepers more than $27 million.

Lee says it wouldn’t take much to destroy his hives.

“It don’t take much to kill bees. I’m concerned all the time.”

Beekeepers say that the county tells them before they spray. But, that doesn’t mean they can move all of their bees in time.

Lee Del Signore: “They can inform you, but it’s a lot of work to be moving bees. I’ve got bees all over the place. I mean, if they give you 24 hours or a couple of days, what am I going to do? Move all of my bees out of the spray area or try to cover them up?”

And as Zika infections continue across the state, beekeepers say the spraying to kill mosquitoes could kill our food.

Lee Del Signore: “Bees give us honey. Their pollen turn flowers into fruit and vegetables. People can’t do that.”

Which is why they hope government leaders find a safer way to control the spread of Zika.

Claim: Naled and other insecticides are not worth it! They kill my bees and will destroy my livelihood (job).”
