My Planning Week Thirty-Three is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Raphael. Last Week was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Donatello, My Planning Week 32 2014. Week before Donatella was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Michelangelo, My Planning Week 31 2014 . I used red washi tape for the borders. I printed out, Notes & To Do:, in red for the bottom of the page. I printed a red Donatello at top left and blue, red, orange, and purple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in the same font at the top right of the page. I used a few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Raphael stickers through out the week. I chose Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle as the theme this month in honor of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie that release last Friday, August 8, 2014.

I purchased the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Stickers at Dollar General:

Raphael or Raph, is a fictional character and one of the four protagonists of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics and all related media. Raphael wields twin sai as his primary weapon. He is generally the most likely to experience extremes of emotion, and is usually depicted as being aggressive, sullen, maddened, and rebellious. My introduction to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was through the Television version, 1987 animated series because of my oldest son. We would watch the cartoon on a regular bases.

Raphael’s personality in the 1987 animated series deviates the most from all other incarnations. The show’s theme song states that Raphael is “cool, but crude” (he takes a slice of pizza with his sai and shoves the rest of it onto the screen), as opposed to being angry and sullen as in other versions. His toned-down attitude was mostly due to the fact that this series was based primarily on humor. Raphael is a sarcastic wise-guy, and supplies comic relief alongside Michelangelo whose humor is usually attributed to his ignorance and spaciness, whereas Raphael is more sarcastic and witty. As a result, Michelangelo is the subject of Raphael’s jokes more than any other Turtle. He frequently makes jokes that break the fourth wall.
