The Spunkettes

Gotta’ have credit–this one my brother told me:

Two guys walk into a bar, one laughs and one says “ouch.”  Why?  Wouldn’t you say “ouch” when you walked into a bar???? 

All of the following  I got from a magazine my sister reads:

Tommy walked up to his teacher and said, “Teacher, can you be punished for something you haven’t done?”  The teacher replies, “no”, “then teacher, I haven’t done my homework.”

A old man walks into a doctor’s office and says, “doctor, whenever I put my hat one, I hear music.”  The doctor replied, “then take out the band!”

Hello my name is Katie Braun

I will be talking about George Stokes and how as a Christian he impacted Modern Science.

George was born on August 13, 1819 in Skreen, Ireland. His father was a minister and his mother was a minister’s daughter. As the youngest of six children, he was brought up in a very religious family.  George had a good educational background that, combined with his Godly heritage, prepared him for his life’s work in science.

At the age of 16, George went to Bristol College in England; there he remained there for 2 years preparing for Cambridge. At Cambridge he studied Mathematics and Science. His studies in science were considered more important because they layed the foundation for his work in modern engineering and the science of fluid mechanics. 

 After graduating from Cambridge, he remained there and tutored private students. George finally married Mary in 1857. That same year he became President of Victoria Institute. He remained there until his death in 1903.  Before his death he wrote a book on Natural Theology. He emphasized his belief of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

George Stokes successful career in mastering and teaching fluid mechanics along his faith in Jesus Christ demonstrates that a belief in God and love for true science can be combined into a successful career.

Thank you,

This is my second and finial speech and this is the one I will be taking to the competition. This is not fully finished we finish is as we go each week. It is supposed as close as you can to 10:00 minutes and i got all the way to 6:34! so here it is….

Hello my name is Katie

Intro: Today I will be talking about Cell Phones and how they can be some times a nuisance. Here are the three main places I will be talking about School, Public Places, and Cars.

I. Schools.
Topic sentence: Cell phones have become a nuisance in schools. Between text messaging, drug dealing, and cheating during class, many state governments have thought about a complete ban on cell phone use in school buildings. Currently leave such decisions up to administrators to decide if cell phones will be allowed in school. However, it is not just up to administrators, parents and students have a responsibility to use their cell phones wisely.

A. The Administrators and teachers have done what they can for the kids who don’t use discretion, here are some examples Quote from CBS “Elizabeth Casanola carries her cell phone everywhere-even through the metal detectors at her school” Using metal detectors on one of the ways the administrators have tried to fix the problem and here is another option teacher have used Quote from Teaching Today “Have students label their cell phones and place them in a basket at the beginning of class and return them to students at the end of class.” B. Parents want their children to have cell phones at school for safety reasons. However, parents must take responsibility to train their children in proper cell phone use. (How?) After being alive for more then 13 years I have noticed one of the thing most parents worry about is training there children right. While reading some of theses articles I have noticed that even they want there kids to use discretion when using there cell phones in public place and even school, it seems to me that even the kids want other students to use discretion because they do not want to lose there privileges with there cell phones in the schools.
C. Students need to exercise self control and obey the school rules. All schools have cell phone rules and if you do not abide by the rules the you will get a ban but on your school and if you do not abide by the ban rules then you will have the Government coming in and putting laws so that you will not be even allowed to bring in Cell phones. (possible quote) One of the ways you can help not put a ban on your school is if you yourself abide by the rules and and also encourage other students by them use there cell phones with discretion. Students are getting around the rules in some schools where there is a ban, here are some examples they will wrap their cell phone in a sandwich wraps or will pay a small fee to have someone hold them during classes and then go get them after classes.

II. Public places

Topic sentence:
The dilemma in public places is that most people are not considerate of other people around them while they are using their cell phones. Often creating uncomfortable and distracting situations. One frustrated person wrote in The Wittenberg Torch “Every single one of the six people walking in front of me and behind me was chatting on their cell phones. The phones came in all shape, sizes, and colors, just a unique as their users, who did not seem to care that other people might be listening to their conversations”
A. Recently I walked into my local Library and saw a sign that said “Please do not use cell phones in the Library.” Was the request taken seriously? No. I saw people talking on their cell phones and heard them ringing constantly. A few days later my sister went to the library hoping for a quiet place to study for an exam. The silence was broken by a woman whose cell phone rang while she was attempting to check out books. She started talking quite loudly and the lady that was checking her out did not do any thing to keep her quite or to even tell her that you are not allowed to use cell phones in the Library! Did the library employees do any thing to enforce the rules? No. They just let them do it.

B. Restaurants are another place where cell phones have become a nuisance. ” Danny Meyer, owner of ten successful New York City restaurants, put the kibosh on cell phone use in his dining rooms six years ago. Every time the phone rings, it’s not only an interruption on their time, it’s an interruption on everyone else who’s trying to enjoy the restaurant”

C. While reading these articles for this speech every single article said I wish more people would use the Blue Tooth, which is a new technology system that is making it a lot easier for people to drive, which brings me to my final point about Driving.

III. Cars/Driving
Topic sentence: Thirteen states have a ban on teens using cell phones. Most recently in the state of California there has been a Government law passed that Kids under the age of 18 are not allowed to use cell phones in cars. This is one of the way the Government will intervene if we do not abide by the small and simple rules. Now do you really want the Government coming in and making a bunch of laws that were rules but now have to be law because there were people who did not abide by the rules?
A. Lot’s of people say but what if there is an emergency? If it is an true emergency the most likely you will be all ready stopped of pulled over. But the problem is what do people consider and emergency? if you forgot your lunch, of some school book? You could either pull over or maybe wait till you get to school.

Conclusion: If we do not obey small laws and neglect our cell phones eticate, then the government will step in with laws. Do you want the Government laminating your freedom? Then limit yourselves.G.K. Cherston said”When you break the big laws, you do not get freedom; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws.”

Thank You

I hope you liked it.
