Do Now 10/28: Invisibility

    If I was invisible, I would go to Iraq or Afghanistan and help the U.S troops in battle. The enemy would not be able to see me and I could go in and kill them or get important info from their base or headquarters. This would make me a hero has many lives could be saved and threats wouldn't be unknown to us and other countries.

   

     Another heroic thing i would do is guide the firefighters .Wherever the Firefighters would go I would follow to help them with things that they cant do. If someone was trapped in a burning house fire I would be able to go right in, pick them up and walk out all unharmed. Same thing with the cops. If they all going after a criminal, I would be able to stop them and the cops would have them. This would make more people more safe, less injured, and save lives as not all firefighter actions and cop chases are fully successful. The invisibility cloak would change the world within the right hands of the right person.

Military's New War Machine

Military has come up with a new weapon to help us in battle called "The Protector". It
carries gear for troops on foot and can be customized to clear paths through minefields or dig defensive positions. With a gun on top, it can do many of the things a soldier does in the field. A remote pilot can control the Protector from almost 3,300 feet away. The gun mounted on top is an M-240 machine gun that can spray bullets up to 5,900 feet. This will definitely be effective in future wars.

10/7 Do Now

If i was a teacher and could have any class, I would have an Athletics class with personal athletic trainers to help with the course with me. Students will perform activities based on the sport we learn each week. This class will not be fully on sports, but also working out and eating healthy. Students would take notes about the topic and later during the class show a demonstration of what is being learned. As for a test, they will have to write how the sport is played, and the basics like how many players, and plays their are. On days that the students behave, we will take them to the field and play a game and learn the skills of the sport for itself.

 On other days, mostly Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, will be our workout days. It will consist of weightlifting and cardio for everyone! As class trips, we get private lessons from the top athletes in the tri-state area including Victor Cruz for football, Carmelo Anthony for basketball, and Derek Jeter for baseball at each of their own stadiums/arenas. The students will be participating in fun and creative challenges that are based on skill and agility with the star athletes and even some of their teammates! Our class is top of the charts and goes beyond physical education! This class is for anyone but you have to be dedicated and hardworking to be in this course.
