1. Game night at our house was hilarious when we played Cranium with
two teams of three. Imagine Abram, the savvy surfer, doing an
impression of Marilyn Monroe singing "Happy Birthday." Or Dave, the
macho bodybuilder, swinging his hips and singing a medley of
Madonna's songs. But the most memorable was George's Cranium
Doodle hint for the architectural term "flying buttress." It was, well,
side-splittingly outrageous!

should just want to get good grades. It is also not fair to kids who work
hard but do not always get good grades on tests.

Medical marijuana. A day after President R. Duterte joked about using marijuana
to keep him awake; he again reiterated his approval for the legalization of medical
marijuana.
A couple of years back, the President replied when asked by a television
reporter on the subject: “Medical marijuana, yes, because it is really an ingredient of
modern medicine. There are medicines being developed, or are now in the market,
that contain marijuana for medical purposes.”
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo explained that the President was in
favor of “controlled” and “regulated use of marijuana for medical purposes.” The
President, however, strongly opposed to the use of marijuana as a recreational drug.
Newsweek believes 2018 will go down in history as “a year of global change.
This is as far marijuana—known in the science world as Cannabis sativa—is
concerned.
“We’ve seen massive changes overtake a global cannabis culture already
establishing itself at a remarkable pace,” the American magazine pointed out. “Canada
has joined Uruguay as the second country in the world to legalize cannabis for adult
use, markets in the US are growing with every election season, and even countries like
Lebanon—whose long-standing diplomatic efforts with the West and its drug warriors
caused a long tradition of excellent cannabis to fall by the wayside—are rethinking
their relationship to the plant.”
Former Health Secretary Jaime Galvez Tan, like the President, is in favor of
the legalization of medical marijuana. His reason: “More people in the Philippines are
suffering from epilepsy and other neurological disorders. It is safer and cheaper way
to treat patients.”
A word of advice: Don’t ever try to attempt to experiment with illegal drugs.
Here’s a final thought from the booklet: “It doesn’t take months or years to become
addicted to a drug. And once you are addicted, it can be extremely difficult and
painful to stop.”

What I Can Do
Now, it is your chance to formulate your own claim for a certain issue. In
this phase, you are equipped with skills to construct the various types of
claim.
Let us FORMULATE YOUR OWN! In this activity you will prepare for a
presentation of your output. The teacher encourages you to use any form of
in your portfolio.
Here are the list of topics that you may choose from. Formulate your own

The New York Times has run many, many headlines that are critical of
Facebook over the years, but this one, published on September 18, takes
the cake.
This, as they say, is not hyperbole. The evidence bears it out, as you can
see in our chronological compendium of the company’s harmful misdeeds
beginning with the Cambridge Analytica scandal in March 2018.
In the last two months alone, Facebook has flunked its own civil rights
audit for allowing false and inflammatory posts from people in power, and
for pretending that hate speech and other noxious content are a form of
free speech in need of protection. It has failed to stop global health
misinformation on a staggering scale, with content from leading
misinformation sites receiving more views than legitimate health sites
such as the CDC and the WHO. And, it has added Ethiopia to its list of
countries in which it has helped to incite genocidal violence.
So, we will do what we can to fight it – with information. These are the
facts about the social media empire that shapes thought and discourse,
alters elections, induces genocide, and boasts 2.7 billion members
worldwide. These are the latest updates to our Facebook Timeline of
