Apprentice blog response to task two article

   In this article(Article)about having single gender classes in middle school, it states that that teachers would like to know if students would be more successful and more happier with single gender classes in middle school. After I read through the article and some information on this website,(Website) I have formed an answer to this question, after thinking through my options.


   In my opinion I think everything should go the way it is going right now, where we have mixed gender classes and I have many reasons for choosing this answer. First of all by having mixed gender middle school classes, boys and girls both learn how to work with each other which helps them learn how to work with different types of people. This will also help them when they grow up because in most jobs you need to work with different genders. Also It will be hard to make this change because so many people will protest against this idea if it is ever used. Now after reading this what would you pick?
   

Giants In Super Bowl 2011-2012

   As most of you might already know the New York Giants are going to the Super Bowl this year. The Giants will be competing in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. This match-up will take place on February 5th in Indiana. This is the sixth time the Giants have played against the Patriots in a Super Bowl. The Giants have worked very hard to get a spot in this season's Super Bowl match-up. 

   The Giants first defeated the Falcons in a Wild Card match-up and beat them. This victory lead them to the Packers, the previous Super Bowl winners. Many fans had lost hope on the Giants and thought they would lose. But, to many peoples surprise Giants won that game 37-20. Then came the Giants hardest challenge they had to face the 49er for a trip to the Super Bowl. Giants also won that game in over time 20-17. Now Giants have to defeat the Patriots to win the Super Bowl. Who do you want to win? I want the Giant's to win!

 

Something I am passionate is.........Soccer

     

   As you might have guessed I am very passionate about soccer. Soccer is known all around the world, from England to China people love soccer. Mainly because of its continuing action during the game.  Soccer is also a sport with many advantages such as it increases your stamina, speed, and endurance. Soccer is a very entertaining and fun sport to watch and also to play. You get to feel the satisfaction of scoring a goal, you can also feel the greatness of saving a impossible shot. This why I am passionate about soccer.


   Now you know why I am passionate about soccer, but you don't know what soccer means to me. To me soccer is a very important part of my life. It's like an option I'll always have in my life, if I want to be an athlete. Soccer is my goal in life, I want to achieve greatness in my life with soccer. Soccer means a lot to me and I am very passionate about it. What are you passionate about? Let me know in your comment. 

Soccer Gaming

   Just as all the other well know sports that have video games made after them, soccer those too. In soccer video games they use all the professional clubs in the world as well as the international soccer teams. In order to make an official soccer game consisting of real professional players you must have a license from the federation and  the only two soccer game companies. I know about are: Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA soccer. I would recommend FIFA soccer because I like the wide variety of features it has.


  











  
   So every year these two soccer game making companies come out with a new game and they are supposed to better then the previous year's game. By this I mean having the latest squads, better quality, and also more features/options. But sometimes the games don't have much improvement which upsets soccer fans who buy the game. So as the years go on these companies have to get more and more ideas for new things. And they have been doing very well with this. I can say this because I have played many of the games.  

Getting Suspended for Tebowing!!!

   You might be wondering what is tebowing from the title, you also might of guessed it must be very bad because kids got suspended for doing this. Well lets start from the beginning, Tim Tebow you might know who he is and you might not. Well, for those who do good for you, for those who don't, he is a NFL star. He is the Quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Tim Tebow is known for his unique celebration, known as Tebowing it is when Tim Tebow kneels down and places his elbow on his knee and puts his fist on his head. As shown in the image. 

   But who knew copying a national sports star's celebration could get you suspended! When I found out about this, by reading an article on tween tribune I was astonished about the decision the principal of the school had made and responded to it something like this. I think that this decision is too much for such a small incident. Maybe something like detention could have worked and that too not for Tebowing but for clogging the hallway. If you have a response to this too please feel free to comment. Here is the video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07HriGZ-DeI
And here is where I read the article.

New Year's Resolution

   Happy New Year's!!! Before the  new year begins many people like to set goals for the upcoming year. Such as losing weight or many other goals called resolutions. Well I have made one very important new years resolution. I will try and accomplish this one goal with all that I'm capable of just like many other people alive in this world. Here is my very very important new years resolution.
Well to me its important you might think it's stupid.


   As well as writing about soccer I also play soccer. Which leads me to my resolution. Which is I want to become better at soccer player. This is my resolution because I want to make the school soccer team (Which I did not get on to this year). By becoming a better soccer player I mean by increasing my stamina, my shooting, and my speed. This goal is very important to me because I want to be a professional soccer player and for that you need lots and lots of skill. HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!

International Soccer

   Well, there are many soccer clubs through out the world. Some players are outstanding and some players are okay. These teams compete for cups within their league or against other leagues. But, as well as these clubs there are also international teams. These teams contain the countries best players. For example, the international team Argentina (my favorite international team) consists of only good players from Argentina. This makes international team matches really long, challenging, and fun to watch. It takes really good player to get on a international team. This why most players are not on a international team.

This is Argentina's soccer team logo.  

   So what do these international teams do? Well once in a while they compete in tournaments and for cups. But, every four years there is a major event called the World Cup. In this tough and first class competition every international team in the world has a fair chance to win the World Cup. The World Cup consists many very competitive matches. When every four years there is a World Cup many fans go crazy! By this I mean they might paint their bodies with their favorites teams colors, there are many other crazy things people do to show their team spirit, it would take me hours to tell you all of them. Here are all of the World Cup title holders!

•  Brazil: 5
•  Italy: 4
•  Germany: 3
•  Argentina: 2
•  Uruguay: 2
•  England: 1
•  France: 1
•  Spain: 1
