Magic
Today Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 debuts in theaters. This is the first episode of the epic 2-part movie based on the seventh book in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. The series follows Harry, who has just learned that he is a wizard and that there is an entire wizarding world that non-magical people do not know about, as he attends Hogwart's School of Magic to learn the things he needs be a great wizard. There are several types of magic used in the wizarding world, charms - spoken spells, potions - a mixture brewed in a cauldron that has a magical effect on the drinker, transfiguration - changing one object into another entirely different thing, apparating - magically moving from one place to another instantaneously, divination - telling the future, flying on broomsticks, and several more. If you could do magic, what would you do?

Ms. Davis's Answer:
I would choose apparation, so I would never have to wait in line at the airport. And I would choose transfiguration because then I would never have to look for anything, I could just change it into whatever I wanted. And I would choose potions because I like to cook.

Peer Assistance
Recently in our BIM 1 classes we had to stop using headphones in order to get more efficient at Microsoft Excel. But do not despair, we have a plan to get our headphones back. And that plan is Peer Assistance.
The PA program encourages students to help students on assignments by giving them an added incentive - the chance of a free day and a party! Each 6-weeks, the class with the highest class average gets a day off when the other classes are working and gets to have a class party. PA is a chance to make the class's average even higher. For each time a student helps another student, they get one point. For each time a student asks for help from another student, they get one point. It quickly becomes a cascade as more people complete their work and begin helping others. At the end of the 6-weeks, students turn in their PA sheets and I tally the points. Whichever class has the most PA points gets 3 extra points added to their class average in the running for a party. Plus, if more students are completing their work and getting better at Excel, the grades will be higher anyway.
Peer Assistance helps EVERYONE in class. It helps the students who need more practice to become Excel pros. It helps the students who are pretty good at Excel because teaching always helps the teacher become more comfortable with the material too. And it helps me, Ms. Davis, because I can only be in 1 place at a time.
Please give me some good ideas for incentives that people would like to get for Peer Assistance. I'm open to suggestions, and I appreciate your assistance. :)

It helps every student in the class and it helps me because I cannot be in more than one place at once. The prize is 3 bonus points on your class average, which determines who gets a party next 6-weeks. I need help coming up with prizes so that's why I'm asking you students!
