Authors biography- 11 year old boy named Birke who's passion is to talk about the food we eat. He studies the sustainable and organic farming.  He is an offical farmer. He is always thinking about information that is great and will allow is his peers to know something that is happening to the food that we eat. His goal to is to tell others about the destructiveness of the industrialized food system.  Birke Baehr is famous for teaching others about what is happening in out industry and how we can help our economy for having healthy, organic and fresh food to eat.

Why we should watch it in class- I think that we should watch this video in class because it is telling us how the expectation of the process and the reality right now for making the food we eat. The moral of this video is to make us understand how our food is made/ processed. We need to know what's inside of our food, where it comes from and how it is made/ the process of making the food.

Knowing all this would be good because we should know if we are getting food that at is organic, healthy and fresh not with chemicals and other processes that are put on to make them last longer than the day it is supposed to rot. The video tells us how some of the food that we eat can have cancer and it can harm our intenstines and that isn't good for our body. 

Knowing what goes inside our food is important because they could be putting anything to make the food sweet, bigger and more in the color it needs. Seeing the steps/ process for how they make our food, what chemicals they put in and what type of chemicals so it doesn't harm us. Lastly, we need to know where it comes from because the some I the food we eat sit really grow in the t area and they will duplicate the food. Once I saw a video that showed a person duplicating a cabbage and it looked alike and with that we can tell that it has a lot of chemical to make it.

In conclusion, we should watch this video because we get to know what is happening to our food system and how we can do something to help make a change before all the food the food we eat not just be filled with chemicals and other bad stuff in it.

Author- John Wooden

Author's biography- John Wooden is known as a coach that made UCLA's winning records that was matchless in the basketball history. He was named 'Wizard of Westwood', when he was the coach of UCLA and had won 10 national championships. John Wooden was named the national coach of the year six times. John Wooden is famous for being the head coach of the UCLA Bruins basketball team. He has a book called "They call me coach", it is about his life, players, and his winning attitude. 

Why we should see this video in class- We should see this video in class because John Wooden talks about how we shouldn't compare each other by how smart or how dumb someone is, his basketball journey, liking to write poetry and discribes the meaning of success.

His speech is very powerful, inspiring, and courageous.

The speech that John Wooden talks about: being successful doesn't mean you have to have A's and B's or 90's or 100's, that is because we all have differen way of learning, some learn slow and the others may learn fast.  

His defination of success was 'peace of mind attained only the theough self satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable of'. Like his dad said 'you should never try thinking that your better than someone else. 

He always reminded his players that when ever the game is over don't let others know that you didn't outcome , they shouldn't know it from your actions too. The opponent shouldn't tell by the actions whether you outscored them or they had outscored you.

Mr. Wooden talked about when he was the coach of UCLA and how the players had to get the self satisfaction for know ong that they can do there best of what they are capable of.

The book that he had mentioned 'they call me coach' is about him talking about his coaching years, from difficult times to the easy, his two players Conard Burke and Doug McIntosh, and their personality.

In conclusion, we should watch this video in class because it talks about the reality of people. We need to learn how success is really earned and how we can make I happen if we work hard to achieve it. 

Some of John Wooden quotes are:

"The best completion I have is against myself to become better"

"Nothing will work unless you do"

"Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts"

"If you want to go fast, go alon. If you want to go far you need a team"

"When opportunity comes it is too late to prepare"
