In Ms. Bell's 7th grade ELA class, two of her class periods will be doing a Socratic Seminar. These seminars are when a group of people come together and talk about a piece of text, or a topic.
Over the last week, Period B and G have been put into groups of 4-5. On Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, two groups from each class will be performing their Seminars. These classes have spent their time finding articles from websites and putting annotations, (notes) all over them, so they can reference to their facts when needed. The Seminar will be based off of six questions that revolve around the fact of where our is food comes from. Good luck to all of the students participating in the Seminars! By Abby :) Whether you like him or you hate him, we all know who Tom Brady is. Quarterback on the New England Patriots NFL team, 38 years old, and 6 foot 4. We also know he's one of the best quarterbacks of all time. And if you are wondering why, this is the reason.
Tom Brady has a very strict diet. He is vegan, doesn't eat tomatoes, and never eats mushrooms. His personal chef, Allen Campbell, is the one who makes their food, custom for Tom Brady and his family. Campbell focuses on lots of vegetables, and never buys food with GMOs, (genetically modified organisms). He always buys local and organic, so he knows where the food he is serving comes from. He believes that a plant based diet is the way to stay healthy, and prevent disease. Campbell serves 80% vegetables, that are always fresh, and always organic. Whole grains include brown rice, quinoa, millet, and beans. The other 20% is lean meat: grass-fed organic steak, duck, chicken, and wild salmon. What Campbell doesn't use is white sugar, white flour, no MSG, no canola oil, or iodized salt. Tom doesn't eat nightshades, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, or eggplants. Campbell says they cause inflammation. No coffee, caffeine, no fungus or dairy. He also prepares food according to the season. In the winter, he'll cook more red meat, soups, and root vegetables. In summer, he cooks lighter, with raw lasagna and more salads. Campbell shops at Whole Foods, meats from the Butcher Shop in the South End, and he goes to farmer markets on Sundays. Campbell prefers food that is organic, and fresh, with no GMOs or any other surprise that is potentially damaging to Brady's health. All of these cooking styles and ways are a part of what makes Tom Brady the football player we know today. Simply eating healthy can make anybody do better at what they do. Choose healthy. By Abby Z :) We all know that game: The Super Bowl. The biggest game of the year, where the two best teams in the NFL compete. This year, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos are participating in the Super Bowl. It is the 50th anniversary, and there will be a big celebration, with lots of performers in the halftime show, including Coldplay, Rihanna, Bruno Mars, and Beyonce.
You can watch it on February 7th, at 6:35pm, on the CBS network, where the first Super Bowl was aired. Both teams will be playing at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California for the title of Super Bowl Champions. Remember to support your team: Broncos or Panthers, and be sure to watch the Super Bowl on February 7th! By Abby Z :) and Maggie D'Aniello |
