Local ALL-STAR HERO

Kenneth Lambert, Battalion Fire Chief for the Bedford Twp. Volunteer Fire Department, and the husband of Mrs. Lambert, ISS at Bedford High School, has been nominated for America’s Most Wanted’s ALL-STAR Heroes Award for his courageous efforts last year in assisting a bus driver who was experiencing medical issues while transporting kids in Monroe, Michigan.

Go to the website www.amw.com/allstar to read Ken Lambert’s full story. Where it says “Search Nominees” put in “Lambert” and it will take you to his picture and story. Read at least four other stories. If you were to vote, which one of the five stories you read would you vote for and why? Could you see yourself risking your life for someone else? You can then VOTE for the All-Star Hero if you choose.

Our President, Barack Obama asked the American people to get involved in the community by doing community service, he said "turn today's efforts into an ongoing commitment to enriching the lives of others within their communities, their cities, and their country."

What are your thoughts on this statement? Discuss ways you could enrich lives of others in our community, city, and/or country. Why would our Barack Obama ask this of people? Do you think you will take up the challenge?

5th Hour Blog Introduction

Welcome to Mrs. Lang’s Blog for 5th Hour Online Experience B class. We’ll be using this site for teacher-to-student communication as well as student-to-student communication. My goal is to do one journal a week. The blog will be posted on Monday and you have until Friday to complete the questions/comments on the blog by leaving a comment. You will also be required to read other students' comments and respond to a minimum of two.

Many of you may have your own personal blogs on MySpace or similar sites. For those of you who have never used a blog, this will give you some experience.

Before we get started we’ll have to set some ground rules. First of all, all postings to this site must use school appropriate language. When you post, write in complete grammatically correct sentences. When commenting on another student’s post, keep your comments non-personal. You can agree or disagree with a comment but refrain from sarcasm and/or put-downs. State your position on the issue at hand and why you feel that way.

This week's topics is "Dream for the Future". What are your dreams for your future? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What does your life look like? Are you married? Do you have children? What is your occupation? What do you do for fun?
