Do Now Writing Prompt (Cloak)

If I was invisible for 1 day, I would do some common good deeds, to help people with everyday things. I would hold the door open for more than 1 person at a store. Many people don't even hold doors open now, so this would be a good thing to do. I would also help people with groceries. Many people need help moving groceries to and from the car.
If I were to do something larger, I would help poor people for the day. I would bring them food when they are hungry. I would also drop off some blankets and clothes for the winter nights that are upon us. In addition, I would spend time at the soup kitchen helping poor people feed themselves. There is too much poverty in this world, we need to help.

Do Now 12/7

If I was a teacher I would like to see a ROTC program because it is actually useful for kids interested in joining the armed forces. If I were to teach this class, I believe it should meet towards the end of the day because the student's  mind would be active all day leading up to a class they are interested in. Students would get military training in the classroom. They will learn the same curriculum as some colleges that teach ROTC.
If you were to walk into this class you would see students interacting with the teacher about the certain military division they are studying. I would even teach the students basic military training that soldiers used to prepare for basic training. Students could be graded on participation and tests that would require them to show what they learned. They would also have presentations to document the history of their beloved military division.
