 * Prior Knowledge and Misconceptions of what farming is - lists made in notebooks and discussion followed. **


 * Agriculture ** (noun): the science, art, or occupation concerned with cultivating land, raising crops, and feeding, breeding, and raising livestock; farming.


 * Farm ** (noun):

Traditional Definition: a tract of land, usually with a house, barn, silo, etc., on which crops and often livestock are raised for livelihood.

Modern Definition: land or water devoted to the raising of animals, fish, plants, etc.


 * The closer food is to its natural form the better it is for you. **
 * How many times has this food been touched?
 * Is it already cooked? If so, what happened to the nutrients?
 * How much stuff (water, chemicals, hormones) has been added in?
 * Do you know where it came from?

You are what you eat from your head down to your feet.

Countries world wide with diets high in fish have:
 * less heart disease
 * lower cholesterol
 * less heart attacks
 * lower stroke

Become a Master of Disguise!
 * Mix foods that you DON'T like with foods that you DO like
 * Broccoli with a little cheese is better than no broccoli at all!

People gravitate to Green. Time outdoors = Happiness. Anyone who gardens can farm. Pretty and Powerful.

December 17 - North Pole Project


 * Your task, using directions given below, is to create your representation of the North Pole - Santa's place, of course. This is NOT a group project and you will have ** no time to waste. Before you draw a line, SAVE as north_pole.

MUST COMPLETE DRAWING (planning document) IN CLASS ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 18. If you are absent, you must arrive with a drawing on Monday, December 21. Deadline for all buildings complete to dimensions below is TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22.


 * The following buildings are required of you. Your grade on this project will come from your plan/drawing on paper and my measuring of the buildings and confirming dimensions of what you build. Where you place the buildings in relationship to each other is up to you. **

Remember: **
 * VIEW is important.
 * Build foundations only in TOP VIEW. All lines that you draw ( in TOP view!) need to be red or green before you type the measurement. [" for inches, ' for feet]
 * You canNOT download the buildings - you must create them yourself. Do NOT download ANYTHING until **all of the required items from the directions below** are complete.
 * Once you complete the **required items**, you may certainly embellish your North Pole with downloaded components, but bear in mind - the more you download, the longer it will take to save and freezing issues are more likely to occur.

// **Directions:** //

Required items - tip: complete ALL buildings first, then create doors and windows on the buildings. ** Do not create a yard ** :


 * 1. Santa's House: **
 * 25' by 35' foundation
 * 10' walls
 * 8' peaked roof
 * Two standard sized doors (3' by 7') and windows wherever you like.
 * 2. Reindeer Stable: **
 * 20' by 40' foundation
 * 12' walls
 * 9' peaked roof
 * **Two** 6' by 7' barn door (one rectangle) and **two** standard sized doors.
 * 3. Toy Workshop: **
 * 30' by 70' foundation
 * 20' walls
 * 10' peaked roof
 * **Two** Standard sized doors (single or double - must have two entrance/exit points) and windows.
 * 4. Sleigh Barn: **
 * 15' by 25' foundation
 * 10' walls
 * 5' peaked roof
 * 6' by 7' barn door, one standard sized door and windows wherever you like.
 * 5. Elf Cottages ** - ** TEN ** (tip - I highly recommend that you ** create one **, then, from TOP VIEW, select, copy, paste and move or rotate as needed):
 * 10' by 10' foundation
 * 6' walls
 * 3' peaked roof
 * **Two** 1.5' (18") x 4' door(s) and windows wherever you like.
 * 6. Elf Dormatory, Cafeteria and Rec Center (all one building): **
 * 25' by 70' foundation
 * 14' walls
 * 9' peaked roof
 * **Two** 1.5' x 4' door(s) and windows wherever you like.
 * **One** standard sized door (so Santa can attend parties)

Remember: when in doubt, CHECK YOUR MEASUREMENTS with the Tape Measure tool.

 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Spreading rumors online or through texts
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Posting hurtful or threatening messages on social networking sites or web pages
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Stealing a person’s account information to break into their account and send damaging messages
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Pretending to be someone else online to hurt another person
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Taking unflattering pictures of a person and spreading them through cell phones or the Internet
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Sexting, or circulating sexually suggestive pictures or messages about a person

Cyber bullying can be very damaging to adolescents and teens. It can lead to anxiety, depression, and even suicide. Also, once things are circulated on the Internet, they may never disappear, resurfacing at later times to renew the pain of cyber bullying. <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: "Droid Sans",Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">
 * Parents and teens can do some things that help reduce the cyber bullying statistics: **
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Talk to other teens about cyber bullying, explaining that it is wrong and can have serious consequences. Make a rule that teens may not send mean or damaging messages, even if someone else started it, or suggestive pictures or messages or they will lose their cell phone and computer privileges for a time.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Encourage teens to tell an adult if cyber bullying is occurring. Tell them if they are the victims they will not be punished, and reassure them that being bullied is not their fault.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Teens should keep cyber bullying messages as proof that the cyber bullying is occurring. The teens’ parents may want to talk to the parents of the cyber bully, to the bully’s Internet or cell phone provider, and/or to the police about the messages, especially if they are threatening or sexual in nature.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Try blocking the person sending the messages. It may be necessary to get a new phone number or email address and to be more cautious about giving out the new number or address.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Teens should never tell their password to anyone except a parent, and should not write it down in a place where it could be found by others.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Teens should not share anything through text or instant messaging on their cell phone or the Internet that they would not want to be made public – remind teens that the person they are talking to in messages or online may not be who they think they are, and that things posted electronically may not be secure.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Encourage teens never to share personal information online or to meet someone they only know online.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Keep the computer in a shared space like the family room, and do not allow teens to have Internet access in their own rooms.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Encourage teens to have times when they turn off the technology, such as at family meals or after a certain time at night.
 * <span style="font-family: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; vertical-align: baseline;">Parents may want to wait until high school to allow their teens to have their own email and cell phone accounts, and even then parents should still have access to the accounts.

If teens have been the victims or perpetuators (the ones who start it) of cyber bullying they may need to talk to a counselor or therapist to overcome depression or other harmful effects of cyber bullying. Six Unforgettable Cyberbullying Cases
