What provides efficiency to the world most? People believe the most efficient vehicle to have nowadays is electric powered. However, the people who say that now don’t realize that there’s many expenses that come with electrical power. Yes, it might keep the planet more clean but where can you charge without sitting in a lot for three hours. The answer to that question is at home. But, that can cause many unwanted problems. The electric bill will skyrocket because the wall charger that comes with the car need a lot of power. What I believe is better is gas powered because they hold gas so you can travel far some cars have different size tanks that hold the gas. Having something like that is much better in a lot of ways. First, you might not encounter as many problems as a electric powered car. Second, you don’t have to charge a car to travel. Yes, gas powered has many environmental issues like pollution caused by the exhaust fumes. Never

Agenda:
1–Discuss Rahmani and his Intellectual Home
2–Extended Freewrite on I.H.
3–Present ideas
Homework: Read Howard Gardner, Malcolm X, and Helen Keller. In your notebook, write a paragraph in which you describe each author’s Intellectual Home.
Bilal Rahmani’s intellectual home is a combination of both the school and the community of students and professors that attend there. Seeing that the other students were as eager to learn as him, it changed his entire perspective on the school and what it meant for him. Before he was set on the idea that no one in the school cared or put any effort to learn or teach, and that those kids were basically just attending the school and taking in what it has to offer. He even mentioned that the school has come to shape the person he’s always wanted to become. He described the community as vibrant and loved that he could be engaged and more motivated in his classes which he didn’t feel before. It’s welcoming when he gets to discuss and debate over topics in each class and get different views, perspectives and more about countless topics. It opened him up more and he got into sharing his skills, attending and participating in clubs, helping out other students with tutoring and giving back to the community as well. The people, the place and the processes definitely played a big role in his best academic work at City Tech.
