Solidifying Modules & Superlatives

1. Did you go and visit the senior advisories???

2. Module work...print out and explain what will go in each module in the margin.  Give to Ms. P.

3. Superlative selection time.  The key is to have a variety of categories so that the same people aren't elected.  Last year's (2013) superlatives:

  • Best couple
  • most likely to succeed
  • prettiest eyes
  • most athletic
  • most talkative
  • best laugh
  • best bromance
  • best dressed
  • most artistic
  • best friends -girls
Year before's (2012) superlatives:
  • Biggest bookworms
  • class clowns
  • most athletic
  • most likely to become president
  • Best performing artists
  • most likely to have cell phones out
  • school spirit
  • most unpredictable
  • Social butterflies
  • Best friends
  • Most artistic 
  • Biggest Mainahs 
  • Class flirts (which I don't like...)

On line ideas:
  •  most likely to bust out in song during class.
  •  most likely to go into a depression when they cant find their phone
  •  most likely to smile when others aren't
  •  most likely to run for president or for office
  • most sociable
  • most likely to have an excuse to why their phone was on
  • most likely to ask for a charger during first period
