"What If..."

Hi Anna,

The kids put a little video together for you today and it was based on them researching animals with albinism.  They also had a chance to chat a bit about "What If..." they had to deal with being a person with albinism.  

I also informed the students that they needed to start thinking about promoting a "certain, up-and-coming STAR!"  You can see how their marketing minds can locate and contact anyone in the world!



Thanks again Anna,

Steve

P.S.  The 3 gig video that got kicked out of the big camera was a little large to upload...I'll start a collection of DVD backups for the television folks if they need footage of your brilliant teaching skills!


P.S.S. Barbara wrote this right before we contacted you:

If I were blind and I couldn't see, I would describe color as the different feeling and emotions.  I would see the way I would feel and think of that as a color.  Of course, I wouldn't know what it would look like, but I could know what it would feel like.  Like when I was mad I could see red, or what people descrided it to be.  I would feel yellow and orange when I felt the suns rays on my back, when the days were to hot I would feel the red heat.  The warmness, the soothingness and the calmness, the warmth I felt inner and outer, I would describe that as yellow.  It's bright, happy and warm. but with feelings like grief sadness and agony, I would think of the ocean and the wind and the coldness, I would think that was blue or even purple.  When I feel alone, sheltered and quietness, I would imagine a deep purple or a navy blue.  The different shades would describe the difference of feelings that I would have had or the different things that I would feel.  If I was blind and couldnt see colors, I would feel them, I would imagine them, and then imagine a colorless life, that would be hard to live within.
