If I ever had to design my own my own subject for St. Joan of Arc I would make a candy class. You could create any type, flavor, and shape of candy you would like to have and eat that wouldn’t kill any one including yourself. I would be teaching this class if I could invent it and of course I would have a professional candy maker helping me while I make the candy. When this class is going on I would like it to be in the middle of the Bahamas. It would be very nice out there and of course I would love it. All you would need for this class when it is going on you will need an apron and your own chocolate because I would be enjoying the chocolate I brought. You can also bring and flavor of candy that you would like that you can melt. You would need these supplies because I would not be paying for all of this stuff on my own. The way I would convince Mrs. Sharpe that this is a good idea is it all has to do with math because you have to measure certain amounts of certain ingredients. `

Imaginary Class Essay
If I had a chance to make a class it would be basketball lessons. The reason why I would want basketball lessons is because I love the game and I want other people to love it as much as I do. The teachers would be Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. The reason why I have those two as teachers is because in my mind they are the best in the world and I want nothing but the best for the students. The class would be taught in a gym or outside basketball court on a sunny day. The equipment we would use is basketballs, basketball hoop, and orange cones so that we can run drills. The way I would convince Mrs.Sharpe is by saying that it would prevent obesity in our school because recent studies shows that Indiana is one of the top ten states in obesity. I would also include that it might help out our basketball team.

One class that I think would be a good idea to add to Saint Joan of arc is a class where all the students brought in an instrument from home if they have one. Some of the assignments that this class would consist of are doing things like looking up the history and interesting facts about your instrument. Another interesting assignment might be for the student to find and play a piece of music written for that instrument. I don’t think that this class would have much homework except practicing playing your instrument. I think that a good place to teach this class would be in the gymnasium. The gym would be a good classroom because it would be far away from any of the other classrooms and minimize the risk of disturbing other students who are trying to learn. A good teacher for this class would probably be Mrs. Hatfield because she has a vast knowledge of music and musical instruments. I think this class would be of educational value and be convincing to Mrs. Sharpe because it would teach the students about the cultural heritage of other instruments rather than just their own.

Make a class
If I could make up a class at SJA it would be a strings class. There are many possibilities for a teacher, but my choice would be my old strings teacher Mrs.Frechet. I would choose Mrs.Frechet because if you don’t understand something you can ask her during or after class. It would be taught in the music room because it has storage for all the interments. We would also need to use the music room because it has great space for the interments to harmonize. The Supplies we would need all the different interments as many as needed. We also would need music stands, music, text books, and pen and paper. This class would be a great addition to SJA’s school day because the students would learn that you can’t always depend on others that you have to depend on your self. It is also a good addition because the students will learn to read notes which are a stander for middle school students.

If I had a chance to develop my own class I would make social studies class better. I would make social studies class better by having Jesus teach it. The reason for that would be because who better than know about the past than someone from the before time. Another reason I would have Jesus teach it is because he would have an answer to every question.
The supplies that you would need to bring to this class would consist of a pen, a notebook or a laptop, flashcards, and last but not least you should bring yourself. The reason I want you to bring these things is because you would have to take notes in a notebook or on a laptop.
The place that I would have this class is in many different time periods like 1950, 17Ad or some other time like that. The reason I would want it in different time periods is because I think visual learning is better than staying in a classroom.
Finally of course I would have to convince Mrs. Sharpe to let me have this class. I might say that social studies is a very important class and I am only improving it to help the kids learn better, and are you really going to turn down Jesus?

If I could develop my own class here at St. Joan of Arc it would be a “Drama Class”. The person that would teach it would be Debra Ashanti. Debra Ashanti is a lady who has a group called The Ashanti’s Children Theater here in Indianapolis. This class would be taught at the Madam C.J. Walker Theater. The materials that would be needed in this class would be a stage of course, costumes, makeup, dancers, actors and actress and lights. And the reason why we would need these supplies is because we wouldn’t be able to put on a show without them. The way how I would convince Ms. Sharp into letting us have this class is by letting her know that by having this class would help students know a little more about the history behind performing or just entertaining people. And scent she wants us to read more in the Drama Class students could learn about who was the very first actors and actress was. That’s the class that I would try to here at St. Joan of Arc. And like I always say who doesn’t like a good musical.

Imaginary Class Essay
If I had a chance to make a class, it would be football lessons. The reason why is because I love the game (even though I like basketball more). The football stars that I’d want to be the teachers are Tom Brady, Osi Umenyiora, LaDainian Tomlinson, Randy Moss and Antonio Cromartie. The reason why I have these 5 as teachers, is because Tom Brady could help you to be a great quarterback, Osi Umenyiora can help you rush the passer, LaDainian Tomlinson can help you juke the defense as a great running back, Randy Moss would help you to read the defense so you’ll get open as a wide receiver, and Antonio Cromartie could help you read the offense, mostly because he got 10 interceptions in the 2007 NFL season. The class would be taught outside on a football field. The equipment we would use is footballs, goal posts, and orange cones so that we can do running drills. The way I’d convince Mrs. Sharpe is by saying that it would stop kids from being obese. I will also include that it could help create multi-sports stars.

The name of my class would be cooking with Ms. Carter. I would be the teacher of course. The reason why I would be the teacher is because I am the best cooker in the whole world if I would say so myself. Class would be taught in the French market kitchen at St. Joan of Arc because it is very large and enough room for a lot of people. All the stuff I would need would be cook ware and all kinds of foods and aprons and cooking hats so we would really be like chiefs. I think
how I would convince Mrs. Sharpe in to having this class . I would say when I was younger I had to learn oh to cook from watching my grandma. No one ever taught me how to cook. So I think it would be a good idea for us to have win .Now in theses days all the all the kids are playing video games or on the computer on Myspace. They need to be up doing thing. If we have this class they would start. There coking ability would be pass down from generation to generation.

MY CLASS
.One thing that I think should be taught at the school of Saint Joan of Arc is the class of recess. I would have a dog that could speak languages like French, Argentinean, Russian, and Swahili. I would have the dog teach it because a dog generally has a lot of energy, for example a German Shepard they’re fun and nice. Then we would teach it on a warm flat mountaintop instead of a cold mountaintop so we could get to school by doing my favorite thing climbing, and then getting down by rappelling or if the mountain was really high we could parachute down. Some of the supplies you would need would be a laptop, a parachute, climbing material, and an imagination. Finally some ways I would convince Mrs. Sharpe is that when you think about it it takes a lot of the basic things that we do in school, for example to get to class we would need to know the geographic location also you would need the right amount of rope to get to the top of mountain by measurement. That’s why I think we should teach recess as a core class.

The class that I would make is P.E. extreme. It would be taught by my football coach George Dury. We would have a curriculum of football, dodge ball, and hockey. We would have all the pads and be able to play to hand touch in football. We could play dodge ball with real rubber balls. Hockey would be played with skates and real sticks. The areas it would be played are a football field a dodge ball court and a hockey rink. The way I would propose and present it would be to say that it would keep students fit and in the best of shape. Students would burn hundreds of calories. George Dury is also a great coach keep everybody inline and in-check. He always checked to see how every body was doing academic and behavior wise. The class would be to a way to keep students fit.

If I could had my own class at St. Joan of Arc it would be a dance class. The teacher would be Ms. Laurie Cutsinger. Ms. Laurie is a great teacher and she always helps you when you make a mistake, and encourages you to keep practicing for more improvement. The dance class would be taught in a dance studio. Why? You wouldn’t want to practice on the concrete cause when you’re doing turns you don’t want to fall on you bottom. The supplies that you need are dance shoes, sweats, and a really great attitude to participate. You need these supplies because you don’t want to come to dance class with tennis on, you can’t barely make a 360 turn. The other supplies is that you need when you arrive in class for example the sweats you can move more freely, and if your wearing jeans you can’t move as much as you do, and really great attitude is that Ms. Laurie doesn’t have time to deal with bad attitudes. I would convince Mrs. Sharpe by explaining to her that kids are doing and learning more dances than a few years ago. Also, it has a great influence on young kids today like my little cousin Jason he basically knows how to do a whole lot of dances, and he’s good at them too.

If I may possibly have my individual class at St. Joan of Arc the class would be “Vocal from the heart”. The teacher of this class would be a more moderate person like Keisha Cole. The reason why it would be her is because she has an excellent voice, and everybody really likes her a lot. The class will be taught in a music room with walls that echo, because I would want the music to stay in a closed room because I want all the sound to stay in the room. The supplies needed would be microphones, laptops, and video cams to record the music. The main reason for this equipment is so that they can see how well or bad they sound. In this opinion to say I would think this would be a good experience for some of the students. How I would try to convince Mrs. Sharpe about my idea is by telling her it would be a good technique for those students who really want to improve there vocal cords. The value to St. Joan of Arc would be that it is a good thing for students. With their beautiful voices they could really bring in more parishioners to the church with the beautiful voices.

If I made my own class, it would be a pottery - sculpture – art class. I love making things out of clay, and it’s a lot of fun painting and drawing. It would be awesome to have an easy, but fun class. I wouldn’t teach the class thought, my friends, Celeste and Tamara would. They are excellent at pottery and painting; they also love to do it. They’re really phenomenal teachers who love to teach. The class would be taught in an art museum, so the students would have imprecation while they work. This class would need lots clay, pottery wheels, paints, paintbrushes, and smocks, because of all the activities that go on in the class. I would convince Mrs. Sharpe that this class is necessary by telling her that it is an artistic outlet of stress for the students. Its value to St. Joan of Arc’s students because it helps them express their creativity. It’s a fun class that everyone would enjoy if they sign-up for it.
If I were able to create my own class it would be a nature class. The teacher would be me because I know a lot about forest. It would be taught outside near a lake and near a forest or woods around some cabins during the summer. Why near a forest and lake is that were the animals live. The class will start around seven or eight in the morning when most of the bugs and animals are out. We will go fishing early in the morning, hiking and examining animals in the afternoon, and camping at night. The Supplies needed will be a flashlight, fishing rod, a rope, a magnifying glass, a extra pair of close incase you get muddy and a sleeping bag. Why you need all these supplies is so you can study and learn more. The way I would convince Mrs. Sharpe that it’s educational is that it teaches you about science and teaches you how to survive in the wild. It also teaches you about the animals that live around you and how they live also what they do to protect itself.

What class would you have?
The subject that I would put on is Surgery classes. I would have a real surgeon teach the class. I would have them teach the class because they already know every thing about surgery. From how big the cut to what diseases there are. The surgeon would teach in a real surgery room. They would teach there because it would get them ready and it would get them comfortable with the space. You would need a notebook, a pen or pencil, and plastic gloves.
You will need the notebook and the pen or pencil so you can take good notes. You will need the plastic gloves in case you want to, or the surgeon asks you to help. I would tell Mrs. Sharpe that only people who wanted to be a surgeon when they grew up that they could participate. I would also tell her that if those kids would like to be a surgeon for there employment when they grow older they would want to get a head start when they are younger.
If I could invent my own class it would probably be a pop star class. The person who would be teaching the class would be me. I would teach the class because when I get older I want to become a pop star. This class will be taught in Hollywood on a stage. The class will be taught in Hollywood because that is where most pop stars are, and I am sure that the kids would like to meet some famous people. The supplies that they would need are a cell phone, five cute or handsome outfits, and some matching cute shoes to go with their outfits. They would need a cell phone because most pop stars can properly talk on the phone and they would need to know how to do that if they are going to be a pop star. They would need five cute or handsome outfits because during the class we will do plays and pop stars in movies change outfits a lot. They would need matching shoes because you can’t just go onto a play with no shoes on. Well, you can but in my class you won’t be doing that. Last but not least I would convince Mrs. Sharpe by telling her that the kids could learn proper edict kit by knowing how to talk on the phone and how to dress properly.

The class that I will make is a drama class or same thing called acting class. I think Raven-Symone should be teacher of this class because she is a excellent actresses. “ That so Raven”. Raven is a great singer to, and one of her song is “Some Call it Magic” it is a great song. Raven will be an influence on the kids. I think that Raven will be so nice to the students. The class will be taught in a theatre because it is big and it will be a great space for it. You will need notebook, pen or pencil, dignity, and costumes. If I had to convince this to Mrs. Sharpe I would say, Mrs.Sharpe if somebody want to be a actresses or a actor this is there chance to shine. But you will have to get straight A’s in all the classes to participate.

Imaginary Class Essay
If I could create a class for St.Joan of Arc it would be a designing class. I would tach this class because I love to design my own things. This class would be taught in a high class, sophisticated room with all the best materials that can be baught and or made for this kind of class.you would only need to bring your imagination.......
(and a pencil). I would convince Mrs.Sharpe that this is educational because you can expand your mind and desgn something that make people feel like our art teacher says.I think that would be a class that everyone could take something from even the boys that think that they don’t need art classes.

If I were to make a class I would make it about building new types of video game systems, and playing them to see if they work. The reason I would make this class because most kids are interested in video games. The teacher of the class would be Miles Murray because I am the richest man on earth and Im good with technology. The class would be in Tokyo Japan because it’s the biggest city in the world. The class would last 2 hours and the homework would be to play what you made for 2 hours so you can test it to see if it can be sold in a store. I would be the best in the class because I would create the quadro-x. The quadro-x is the Wii, psp, ps2, ps3, x-box all in one, so you wouldn’t have to buy all of them for $200.00. The quadro-x would cost $55.99, and if anyone copied and sold my idea I would let the students take their money or charge them $1,000,000,000 and if they didn’t have that kind of money they would work for it until they could pay the green
If I could create a class at Saint Jan of Arc, it would be Pirating 101. It would be taught in the Caribbean Sea because that was a major spot for pirate activity. It would be taught by Blackbeard because he was one of the most famous pirates ever.
There are plenty of materials needed for this class. We will need 20 ships to have at least four groups of pirate pupils and they will battle each other. Next, we will need 300 canons, 500,000 fake cannon balls, and 100 fake swords so students can have practice battles against their classmates. We will also need proper clothing so we do not look like school students.
There are three points I would make to convince Mrs. Sharpe to start the class. First I would tell her about the money we could rake in by taking fifty percent of each students -- shall we say, “Booty” -- that will be earned from plundering ships. I would also tell her about the educational gain, which is learning how to balance money which is good for math. I would also tell her about the physical labor that will improve your physical fitness
It would be exciting if I could create my own class. If I had one choice of a class, it would have to be a video game class. There are quite a few reasons I chose this class. One reason is that video games are practically my life. Maybe if I had this class during school, I would play less at home and focus more on my work. I love video games, if I had a choice, I would trade my dog, Big Boy, for a game. The perfect person to teach this class would be my brother, Ashley, even if he can’t beat me. He is an avid video game player, nice and plays video games quite well. These three things are perfect for a video game teacher. My class would take place in a room filled with soft cotton candy and monitors. I want everyone to feel comfortable in this class, so soft cotton candy might help with that. Also, everyone obviously doesn’t want to take turns. If I had a wall filled with monitors everyone could play could play at the same time. Obviously, I would need video games. I would choose a variety of games, so everyone will at least like one game. Even if no one liked my favorite game, Mario Kart, it still would be one of my selections. Also, I would need computers for PC games. Lastly, I would need video game systems, controllers, and TV’s, as I mentioned earlier. I would raise money by having a carnival to pay for all this equipment. Most of these things would help to develop the classes hand eye coordination. Convincing Mrs. Sharpe would be very hard. I would ask her can I have this class during recess, so it wouldn’t interrupt our other classes. Then I would let her know this helps to develop peoples hand eye coordination. This skill will help those who would like to be surgeons and doctors. If she said no, I would just go to the arcade with my friends to play with them. Most likely she would say no, but if she said yes that would be great too.

NOW MY CLASS IS IN SESSION
My class that I would create for St. Joan of Arc is war studies and war training. You would be learning about famous battles, what it’s like to be a soldier and why the military does what it does like retreat, fall to the back or even why they invade other countries. Colin Powell would tech the class. The reason why he would tech this class is because he was in the military himself so he would know first hand about wars. It would be taught at different battlefield each year and also in a classroom at a military school every four months. This would give the kids visual learning and hands on learning. What you would need for this class is camouflage, pen, paper and anything else you think is required plus yourself. You would need this items for what you would be doing like your in boot camp. This class would teach the students about wars and would give them an idea of what they could do in the future. It would always give them everyday skills and to take things seriously like school, setting goals, and completing what they started. It would use a lot of subjects. This is how I would convince Mrs. Sharpe.
If I could make a class the name of my class would be Fashion& textiles. The person who would teach it would be Kimora Lee Simons, The inventor of Nike, and the inventor of Chanel. The reason I would have them is because they know much about the business. I would be taught in a New York Studio Apartment. The reason I would have in New York because it is the fashion capital of the world. The things you would need for this class is a sidekick id, a Mac laptop, and a bunch of sketch notebooks. The reason I would use these things are because we would new them every class period. The uniform for my class would be only designer clothes all the time. We would have school 4 days a week and every Friday we would go to a real Fashion company and work there. How I would present this to Mrs. Sharpe is by saying is because It could be a good math skills to have in the future for everyday life.
Graham B.
The class that I would develop would be Exotic Sports 101. It would be a class were you would learn the basics of how to how to play sports people in the USA don’t really play or know about. Like rugby and hurling. Each sport would be taught by the world’s best athlete in that sport. For example if it was rugby it would be taught by the South African world cup team, because they won the Rugby World Cup this year. It would be taught in what ever country it comes from. Like hurling would be taught in Ireland and lacrosse would be taught in the US. For the supplies I would need the balls, goals, and other gear needed to play the sport. If I don’t get them my colleagues and I wouldn’t be able to play each sport. I would convince Mrs. Sharpe by telling her that it falls into the curriculum. One of the ways is through PE, because you get active and get exercise. You also learn to work as a team. It will also be incorporated in to social studies, because you will learn about other cutlers and their sports.
The class would be called party class. The teacher would be me, because I like to party, and this class is all about doing whatever you want for as long as the period lasts. The materials needed would be anything you wanted to bring whether you want to rock out on a guitar, or dance wildly. I would tell Mrs. Sharpe that the class is important because your suppose to have as much fun while your child hood lasts because once you grow up you don’t get as much time to party. The party class would be taught in the gym because it has the most room to party. They would learn how to serve people by yours truly. I think all the students would enjoy this class, but the teachers might not because there aren’t any rules in this class, and the teachers would be mad because it’s a teen only party, which means they aren’t aloud in the festivity room.

If I could have my own class it would be a cooking show. The reason I would have a cooking show is that cooking is what all children need to learn. The person that would teach this class is Paula Dean. I think Paula should teach this class because she is a great cook, and she does not care if you make a mistake she will turn it into something new. The tools you would need are cooking utensils like pots and pans and lots of ingredients. Some of the ingredients you would need are flour sugar and spices. The place this class would take place is in the Caribbean
Islands. This class would be held in the Caribbean Islands because you can hear the ocean while you cook and the ocean is very soothing. The way I would convince Mrs. Sharpe is I would tell her that it will keep her students occupied and out of trouble and she can bring in people of al decants and cultures.
Symone M.
If I could choose a class my class would be music for people who can sing. They would come to my class on Monday through Sunday from 8:00am through 8:00pm, so they could pursue their dream of being a singer. The teacher would be Beyonce and the assistant would be me. I chose Beyonce because she is an excellent singer and actress. My music class would be taught everywhere including the Caribbean, Hollywood, Mexico, and Africa. Beyonce and I would buy all the music supplies like microphones, stages, voice recorders, pianos, and laptops. If I had to convince Mrs. Sharpe I would say that people who want to do this class can if they have a “D” average on reports. I know you want people to fulfill their dreams and some people are dreams are to be a singer one day. It would be good for people to take my class as Beyonce and me going to be the teachers.

My class that I would make is a space teaching class. I would teach the class for two days a week and I would have a assistant to help me. It would be thought on a different planet each time I would come because I would teach them on the different planets. I would need a spaceship ,a lot of food supplies that’s why I said two days one day to get their and another day to get back, and last I would need lots of fuel, spacesuits, jetpacks, space helmets, space rovers ,alien transmitters, and all they would have to do is sign a permission slip. To convince Mrs. Sharp I would tell her that kids should know about space and it is a lot of fun. It would be a class that the kids would look forward to. Don’t worry about the cost I will spilt half with you.
The class that I would create is Communication Class or Speaking Class .My father would teach the class because I believe that my dad has good communication and great speaking skills. He talks to people in a very polite manner and he has history as a fluent speaker in public. My dad writes and speaks poetry at recitals every once in a while. His classes would be taught at the school, SJA, on the very bottom floor of the school. The supplies you would need are a pen and a notebook for writing oral reports and so on. The reason I would give to Mrs. Sharpe for having this class is to teach kids to communicate with one another, not only communicating with each other but having a discussion politely with your peers and the others around you. This is very important for kids to learn this skill in order for them to make peace and get along with others. This skill could also help kids learn other aspects of life such speaking in front of public, talking in meetings, speaking with the employer at an interview for a job, and a simple conversation with one of your friends.

My class would be a cooking class. I want to have a cooking class, because other students in the school could be cooks one day, and they could achieve while they are young. I would have Rachel Ray teach the classes because she has good recipes and I would want her to try them out the students, like for example the oatmeal cookie pancakes those use oatmeal and butter. I would teach these on the food network because it has the warm cooking feeling I like I’m really a big time cook. The tools I would have would be a wisp, pans, bowls, cooking spoons and so on. The reason why I picked Rachel Ray is because I watch her shows all the time and I tried her recipe on this and I was gnarly!!! The hardest part to convince Mrs. Sharpe because I think
If I could make a class I would make a business class, because I think that allot of kids that are thinking about a business job later in their life would want to have an early start to see what it would be like. I would want the top business school teachers in the state come and teach us. I would want them to teach us because I think that we would definitely get a way better education in business, with some of the highest business teachers. I would want this class to be taught in and out of class like we would take field trips to successful business, and learn in a class room what we couldn’t learn on field trips. To teach this class I would need laptops, note books, pens, pencils, and a bus to travel on. I would need these things so we can take notes and research information. To convince Mrs. Sharpe that this class should be taught I would tell her about how it could help kids further their careers as adults, also get them ready for the future and be prepared for what may lie a head of them, in any thing that they might need to start their own successful business.

If I could design my own class I would choose a yoga class. I think that a lot of children at Saint Joan of Arc are stressed out. I think that if the students at SJA were to relax a little that it would cause people to turn in homework on a regular basis. To do this class I would have an empty room with relaxing colors such as blue and natural colors such as green. I would also like to have a carpeted floor with a burgundy color carpet. I would also like it if we could have the class outside on the grass during the warms days of the year. Of course if you were to have yoga you would need yoga mats. I would also have a CD player and mellow music. Another way to relax the students would be to have one view-like painting per wall. To convince Mrs. Sharpe that yoga is a good class for SJA students I would write her a letter politely asking if I could have this class and have a petition signed by as many people as possible that says they would like to have yoga at least once a week. To teach this class I would have a qualified instructor com in each week.

The class that I would create would be a designing class, a drawing design class. I would add this class as an extension of the already established art program at St. Joan of Arc. I would have an architecture teacher it because the career of architecture has a lot to with designing—since that is the base of architecture. Architecture class would be taught in a really awesome art room. There would be tons of pencils, easel and shading pencils, and probably some oil pastels and watercolor, to add to the finished product. I would convince Mrs. Sharpe to teach this class by telling her how it would improve drawing skills, it would be really fun, and hat it would get kids ready for higher levels of drawing in high school. Also this class would help students who want to become a person in the architecture career or in other designing careers. This class could be a good, strong base for those kids.

The class I would like to create to social studies Classic. I would have to choose Martin Luther King Jr. as the teacher of the class. Because he is the reason why I am here. Because I am mixed. And my Dad is African American and my mom is Caucasian. The area the environment witch the class would be located is in Washington D.C. And a school would be build in the middle of the memorial witch he had spoken at when he gave his speech I Have a Dream. And also I think this is a very special place because the civil rights were token place. The supplies you will need are a very high tech book of all the worlds’ history in it. Also you will need to have pens and most modern school supplies. The way I would convince Mrs. Sharpe in having this class, is that you will learn more important things you didn’t know about his life and the civil rights and more. For example, you might learn some secrets and his life and more. This would be a great opportunity for all the SJA students and for all.

If I were to create a class for St. Joan of Arc I would create a class that would teach how to play EXTREME guitar. You would learn how to play music by band such as Van Halen, Black Sabbath, lynard skynard, queen, Aerosmith and AC DC. You would learn songs such as Panama, Free bird, Back in black, and enter sandman. The class would be taught by Eddie Van Halen, in my opinion the best guitar player ever. It would be taught on the roof of the building because you can turn the amplifiers all the way up. You would need an Electric guitar, an Amp, a cord, a strap, and a pick. I would ask Mrs. Sharpe because it would be fun and reading music helps with your math skills. It will help you learn something that could possibly become a career if you become good enough

If I could pick a subject at Saint Joan of Arc it would be a cooking class. I would teach it or, have someone in my family teach it like my mom. On some days I would have a professional chef come in. Some materials I would provide such as pots, pans, water, and flour, but there are some materials that I can not provide such as Pasta, butter, milk, and much more. I believe that this cooking class would be a good experience for those who are not the best cook. This will have some math involved; we will be reading ingredients to see how many cups of flour, water, or mix. I think this class would be fun to those who do love to cook or even bake. The way I would convince Mrs. Sharpe That this is a good idea is tell her that it has math involved because we will be measuring with a measuring cup.
I believe there should be a soccer class at St. Joan of Arc. Taught by Francis Ginah, coach of the Indy Metro League Raptors, this class would improve students’ skill in the world’s favorite game. “Soccer 101” will be a friendly, specialized class for anyone ages 5 to 15. Pupils will learn vital skills such as escaping the mark, “juggling” the ball, and even the all-important PK*.
Let’s just face the facts: when World Cup time rolls around every four years, the U.S. isn’t really much better than average at futbÅl, as the rest of the world calls it (will we ever learn?) when compared to other nations including England, Germany, and Japan, all of whom call it their national pastime. This also means that we are not much of a threat deeper into the tournament. With this course improving on the integral aspects of the highly popular sport, the future may hold even a World Cup Championship Title as soon as 2014.
This great class can improve sportsmanship and respect of others, especially among students in this stage of life. That and its positive effect on our country’s world image should make it more than worthwhile to go to all the setup trouble.
*PK: Penalty Kick= 1-on-1 free kick vs. GK(Goal Keeper) usually awarded when a mild to serious foul occurs within the Penalty Box
The class that I would teach would be P.E. because I think this is a fun and active class. The teacher would be me and we would have class two times a day. This gym class would be taught at Saint Joan Of Arc because it is big enough and we would use the whole gym and not just half but sometimes we would use half. The supplies that would be needed would be things like basketballs so we could run drills and flag football so if it is raining out side we would play in our gym and we also will need Volleyballs so I could teach them how to play if they play the teachers. I would convenes Mrs. Sharpe by going to her and say we would need these item because we need to get exercise and the students would be in shape. But if they don’t have their work for a class they would have to sit out for a period of time to learn there lesson and that is how I would direct my gym class .

If I was to make a class of my own I would make a class of woodshop. The teacher would be Vicente Venegas because I will teach students how to make things. So it will be taught in a classroom, because it will be supervised. For my class you will need a ruler, measuring tape, safety glasses, apron, pencil, and a hammer. Because it will be needed to measure wood lengths and were to cut at and you will need nails and a hammer to keep the wood blocks together or you can use wood glue. I will tell Mrs. Sharpe that woodshop will be great for students who want to be carpenters or would just like to build things for their families and friends for example maybe you want to build a bird house or make furniture or even build a table and some chairs .

What class
If I could choose a class for the curriculum, it will be a soccer class. My old coach, Coach Forn, will teach the soccer course. The reason why he will teach this category is that he is a great coach that will teach you soccer skills will having fun doing it.
Some supplies that are needed are cleats, shin guards, sweats and soccer balls. The reason why I say all of these is that cleats are used to give you support on sodden grass and shin guards are used to protect your shines form getting hurt form a kick to the shin. Sweats because it is easier to play in them then in our school uninformed and soccer balls are requirement in order to play soccer. We will have class at the Meriden’s soccer field. I think that Meriden soccer field is a great place to learn is because Meriden has huge soccer pasture with a lot a space.
How I will convince Mrs. Sharp to have this class is by saying one thing. That thing is “Through soccer I released a lot of emotions that have build up inside me. Thanks to soccer, I have made many friends. One of my old coaches all ways said this before and after a game ‘Weather we win or lose just have fun.” That is how I will convince Mrs. Sharp.

If I could teach a class at Saint Joan of Arc it would be very interesting in my opinion. I would rent a high technology rocket ship and launch children into space. I would teach the class so I could arouse people’s interest in being an astronaut. It would take place on Mars. I would purchase space vehicles that are equipped with sophisticated navigational systems and other helpful equipment.
I think kids would be interested in the space class because it is an intriguing adventure that will increase knowledge in all areas. We would try to make new discoveries. Maybe there are other life forms that exist on Mars. The students and I would revolutionize Mars and make it a highly developed planet, similar to Earth.
We would send Mrs. Sharpe to Mars and let her see and judge from her point of view whether she likes the class or not. We would persuade Mrs. Sharpe to let us have this class because it is educational and instructive and will help young minds develop.
