Wow another day whizzed by!! Bring Water Polo notices and please ask for parent drivers as we are short for our first session. Movie night notice. Reminder of skating Monday Jan. 26th at Cloverdale. Gr. 7s -be sure to bring your fraction strips tomorrow. No new homework for poetry but be prepared to discuss yesterday's work. Today after learning how to use the strategy Determine What's Important, you practiced with the poem Beautiful. Watch this Grammy Performance by the singer Christina Aguilera, written by Linda Perry. Then POST your opinion of what this song is saying. Did you change your thinking after watching this performance? If so, how did your thinking change and why did watching her sing make a difference? Watch the science video again. Add to your definitions if needed and find examples of the 3 laws of Newton. Hint: look around your home. Complete your definitions of the science vocabulary. Be sure to include an example. This is a helpful link for most of the concepts. Here is a second link that may help.

Beautiful song, really it is! i liked the part your delirious and so consumed in all of your doom. It really made me think about to not dwell and think about the bad things in life but to think about the fun and happiness. I really do think that this song is about being confident and loving who you are. The way she sang it was different than I imagined. It was so unique and was kinda dreary at the beginning but I feel like the singing had a message to it. Like I said it started out dreary but it gets better. Thats kinda the way I see it. I also think about trying to live with no regrets and live a happy life.

Does the meaning of the doom demand that she sing it with a different tone and emotion?

My opinion is that the song is about not changing who you because you are special and great and unique. I also think is talking about that you should live in the moment and not think about the bad things, think about what happy things there are in life. I also think the song talks about inner beauty and the worlds expectations of beautiful or way you look.

Sorry forgot to add this to my comment. Why is Christina Aguilera singing a song about how your beautiful just the way you are when she is wearing a wig and tons of make up?

My opinion is she is a very confident person who is being judged but she won't let those words being her down because she knows how beautiful she is and doesn't care about what other people think of her.

Everyone is beautiful in one way or another. If people try to lower your self esteem and pick on you, don't let them. Do not let "words" get the best of you, and don't try to bring others down as well. I feel if we all work together, we are untouchable/able to get hurt. I don't think the video necessarily changed my view of the meaning, however I do like the powerful effect the video had.

I agree with everyone else. I think this song is about how you should never let people bring you down, and it could also be about anti-bullying. I wish I got here earlier to comment, then I could have written a fairly long comment. I'll come here a little earlier.

I think what this song is trying to say is that do something with your life and things depend on you and one more thing to be carring and king be who you are.

This poem encourages people not to care about what other people think or say about you. Be confident in yourself.

My opinion is to inspire people who hate their life and think that being beautiful is every thing, but you dont need to be beautiful and its what is on the inside that counts.

I liked the song, but the singer made it extremely painful to listen to.

Christina sounds like a decent name you would probably think that she would me wearing a pretty pink dress and be singing softly but the way she was singing she sounded like she was in pain the expirations on her face make it look like she feels and knows what's it like to have someone break her confediense but she is saying that if you fall down you have to get back up and fight for your self. She also said somthing like "we are beautiful in every single way" it sounds like she was sticking up for someone like if no one is there for me I can still fight but that does not mean that I should leave someone behind if they need my help no one should. I think the whole point of this song is that beauty is within it not about the looks or style it's about the beauty you have in you emotion and feeling

How can you build a puzzle if you don't have the peices? That was actually what I thought of when there was that one part of the song. I don't know if that's a metaphor.

I still really think that it is about bulling because of the word that are being used. It also sounds like a very emotional song, the way that she is sining it.

i think it means don't judge a book by its cover and if people do not like the way you look just don't pay attention to then because it is your opinion that counts.
