I watched Come inside my mind: Robin Williams and it was an excellent movie that pulled at our heartstrings. It was shocking to see all that Robin Williams went through and he still did his best to entertain all and makes us laugh @jteacher1402

@jteacher1402 because what makes a documentary enjoyable is feeling like you're watching a story unfold as opposed to a lecture. Which makes the point you're trying to make come off better.

@jteacher1402 I found the Micheal Moore article really funny because the way he said the rules were so real and it made the article interesting as well. I totally agree with his first rule "Don't make a documentary, make a movie"

@jteacher1402 She also set out to create a great brand with Burberry. A great brand means that the user is proud to be a part of that brand. What's really important for compagnies is what is your core product and what is your core purpose.

@jteacher1402 I watched the interview with Angela Ahrendts on @khanacademy and she went to New York and became the president of Donna Karan before the age of 30.

@jteacher1402 I watched Philippe's conference and I have to say, it was really interesting but also really eye oppening. It's shocking to see sometimes at what point these high-level athletes push themselves to be great at their sport and how the mind can have an effect on us.

The ads I chose are Brain on fire (O) and Hunger (L) because they were both short and sweet and really knew how to grab my attention @jteacher1402

@jteacher1402 For the Indigo reading challenge, I am going to read When the Game Stands Tall by Neil Hayes. It is based on a movie with the same name, and it is similar to Just Mercy in a way that it is a book about coming together but with football. #indigochallenge

Mass incarcerations are going down and things are looking up. But there is still more work to do. In this book, Brian Stevenson doesn't always tell you the things u want to hear but the things you need to hear. And that characterizes the ending for the book and I love it.

[Gino C 203 groupe 3 @ginoc203_3]

@jteacher1402 The ending of the book was by far my favorite part. Not necessarily because they were happy chapters but because of how chapter's 15 and 16 get us to look at ourselves and the world. I was very satisfied with how he decided to end the book. Read thread for the rest

[Gino C 203 groupe 3 @ginoc203_3]

But then ending also really shows us hope. The immediate realse of Joshua Carter and Robert Caston is a sign of hope. What he is showing there is that there is always a reason to fight for what is right.

In chapter 7 of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson gets help from a new member of his non-profit Micheal O'Connor. I don't want to spoil anything in the book but Micheal's help blows the case wide open for Walter by finding some new evidence for the defense that will prove his innocence

@jteacher1402 I chose to watch the 8th amendment on Khan Academy and it taught me alot about the cruel and and unsual death penalty. It is linked to the book because in Alabama in the 1980's the death penalty was still in use.

[Gino C 203 groupe 3 @ginoc203_3]

@jteacher1402 I've finished 4 chapters of the book Just Mercy and I think it is amazing. The detail Bryan Stevenson goes into through out the book about the case and the legal state of Alabama during the 80's is mind opening. A fact about him is that he gratuated Harvard Law.

@khanacademy is a wonderful free platform that really is adapted to all students. With their peers helping peers concept as well as everyone learning at their own pace, it is a great tool. It will help me alot in English with @jteacher1402 !
