read the following article : http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/us/04suicide.html
Answer these questions : Questions For discussion and reading comprehension:
1. Eliza Byard, executive director of the gay and lesbian education network, is quoted as saying, “People get enough signals about ‘how wrong it is to be gay’ without anyone in those communities actually having to say so.” What kinds of signals do you think Ms. Byard is referring to?
2. Are you surprised by the statistic that 9 out of 10 gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender teenagers suffered from verbal or physical harassment in 2009?
3. Why do you think some blame for these boys’ deaths has been put on adults, including educators, “hate groups” and religious leaders? Do you think these people played a part in the deaths of these boys?
4. Do you agree or disagree with Dan Savage that there is a connection between “antigay rhetoric” in the culture and bullying at school?

6 October
Today the students worked on calculating their BMR's. the calculation is a pretty simple one, but seems to give the students trouble. Here it is:
Boy-Wt X 11 Girl -Wt X 10 = BMR CALORIES
ACTIVITY CALORIES
Multiply BMR CALORIES by the activity percentage below
inactive-.30 active-.50 very active-.75
(the number should be smaller) AND round up or down no need for decimals
They calculate their digestion calories by adding their answers for step 1 and step 2 and then multiplying that number by .1 (answer is significantly smaller....in the hundreds)
Step 4 is adding all of the numbers together= BMR calories + Activity calories + Digestion calories.
they also had a trivia question today. SSR tomorrow and Health Articles are due on Friday!
