Today, we started simulation 4 on defining humanitarian intervention. And it was also the beginning of Pennies for Patients, a drive that benefits a leukemia foundation. Well Mr. Mustard is really affected by leukemia. He has friends whose sons died months apart from leukemia. So Mr. Mustard wants to raise a lot of money for Pennies for Patients. We 5th period are representing his homeroom class.
Mustard offered these deals if we bring in a certain amount of money.
$.25 - Cost of a "um". In this SIM, we are permitted one "um" per speech and we can buy extra credits for that speech. However, if we say extra "um"s during our speech, then we will have to pay double per um.
$1.00 - We can eat food for a day in class.
$2.00 - 2 bucks can let us bring something up with us while doing our speech.
$5.00 - Postpone our speech to the next day.
$10.00 - Be an IA for a day.
Now these deals are interesting. Today, we got in 30 minutes of SIM and we raised $38. At one point, 4 people in a row paid $5 to push back their speech for a day. This is going to be a interesting next two weeks with SIM and Pennies for Patients. If we keep this up, it'll be a win-win situation for us. We'll probably be one of the top homerooms and get a party and we'll have some relief for SIM.
