Evelyn Glennie Shows how to Listen

What struck you?
-What struck me was the fact that she was deaf. This struck me because a lot of deaf people can't talk and play music.

What did you notice?
-I noticed that she wasn't wearing shoes. She wasn't wearing them probably because she could feel the instruments vibrations through the floor.

What did you enjoy about her performance?
-I enjoyed when she played on the marimba because because she used four stick things at one time and had full control over all of them.

Sustainablity Visit

Questions:
1. What struck you about the location you visited? Was it what you expected, or very different?
What struck me was the location. I didn't expect the farmers market to be in the middle of otay ranch mall.

2. Which items were cheaper than you expected? Which were more expensive?
I didn't see the prices.



3. Do you think you will start going to a farmers market more often? Or using a community garden? Or supporting a CSA?
I really do like going to farmers markets, but my parents don't go to them. I'll try more to convince them to shop at them more often.



4. How do these locations fit into our essential questions of “Why Don’t People Live More Sustainably?” and “How Can I Convince them to do So?”
They relate to sustainable living and what we've been studying in class.
