Blog Challenge week 9 My future

In my future I want to be a professional photographer. I love photography and taking pictures. In my future I plan to own my own photography shop with my cousin. We even made our own logo. We plan to take pictures of prom, weddings, birthday parties, and more. Also in my future I plan to live, maybe, in Paris or anywhere in France. I think my cousin and I could get good business there. The photography business would not be full time. It would only be part time. The other job I would want to do is become an animal rescuer. I love animals and I want to save them. By the way I mostly want to spend my life with photography. I cant live without it.

How do the themes in poetry help you gain a deeper understanding of life in general? By Julia and Janae

How do the themes in poetry help you gain a deeper understanding of life in general?   

Bold – Julia

Italics – Janae

 

The themes in poetry help you gain a deeper understanding of life in general when you think about it and when you think out of the box!! If the poetry was talking about war you can relate that to your own life and how your life seems difficult. Another example is when you are on a boat and your boat is swaying back and forth. You might feel as if your life seems good the switches to bad.  We’ll be talking about when you can think out of the box and how you understand life in general.

 

There are lots of poetry in life. There are lots of examples of how we can understand it if it has lots to think about. An example could be if you were on a rollercoaster your life could act as if you were a rollercoaster cart going up and down. Life could be good and bad. Another example is if you were in a car crash you would feel very badly. You would feel as if you had a bad scratch or some other bad feelings. Those are some example of how we can understand life in general!!

 
Like can be tough but life can also be good and fun. So far we have only been talking about bad situations. A good situation is when you are at a carnival. Your life can be good at that time. Some example are when your mom asks you to do your chores and you do them very good. She would have been very proud of you. Your mom might even let you do something special. That is how we gain deeper understandings of life in general by the themes in poetry.

Blog week 7

 

I researched ball games in England. I found that they also play baseball and basketball. I have played both before. They both turned out to be pretty fun. I figured out that I am better at basketball then baseball. I also found a game called fits ball. Fist ball is just like volleyball but named differently. I love volleyball and it actually isn’t that hard. I thought this one also sounded interesting. It is called Australian handball. The derections are, that you must have the ball hit the wall before it comes back to you. You must also not let the ball hit the ground, if it does it can only hit it twice. I also tried this one. I am very bad at this. These are some of the games I tried. You should try them too.

Blog Prompt 5/6/16

Joel: Italics        Janae: Bold

 

How does visual information help the reader to understand scientific and technical texts?

 

If you have visual information it will help the reader to understand the text. For example if you don’t understand the layers of the crust then you can look at the diagram in the book and that should help you understand. That is called visual learning by the way. If you use a diagram then you need arrows to point to the crust, mantle, and core. When you do that then you know where everything goes and maybe learn more about the inside layers.

 

Visual information can also help the reader understand more when the diagram gives examples of what goes there and why. Like we said in the first paragraph you will know more about the inside layers. In the book it shows what looks like a pizza, but it isn’t. The pizza looking shape is a diagram. The diagram shows the crust, mantle, and the core. The diagram also gives information of what the crust is and what it is made up of. The mantle is made up of silicon, iron, magnesium, aluminum, oxygen and other materials. The inner core is made up of iron. Then the outer core is nickel-iron. Then the crust is what we are on and is the outermost layer.

 

Did you know that the mantle has an inner mantle and an outer mantle? The outer mantle is just below the crust and the inner is floating on the outer core. You can tell from the diagram that there is two cores because it uses captions that tell us which section is which. You need the captions because you wouldn’t know what you are learning about. For example, if you were just learning about the earth and it’s different sections and the book had a diagram of the layers of the earth. What if the diagram had no captions. How would you know which is which? So with visual information you need to have something to tell what is what.

 

Visual information helps the reader understand what they are reading is because they just give a little more detail and more information. Visual information also helps if you don’t know where things are. Just like what we said  in the second paragraph, you may not know where the different places are like the earth’s layers. Visual learning also helps to understand what you are learning in a different perspective and in a more descriptive way. So visual learning is helpful and useful.    

Blog prompt 5/4/16

How does the encounter with the Nazi soldiers on the way home from school affect Annemarie? How would it make you feel to be in a similar situation? Is it hard to even imagine?

 

The encounter with the Nazi soldiers on the way home from school affected Annemarie because she kept thinking of how Ellen reacted. Another way that it affected Annemarie is she had a hard time thinking about it. Also, Annemarie had a hard time telling her mother what happened at the corner. The last thing that affected Annemarie was she couldn’t walk that way to school anymore. These are some ways that the encounter with the Nazi soldiers on the way home from school affected Annemarie.

 

If I was in a similar situation I would be terrified because I am very scared of soldiers and I am VERY scared of people with weapons. If I was in a similar situation I would be terrified because I wouldn’t know what to do. It would be hard for me to imagine because we have a great protective system for our Nation and I believe that our protective system would protect us as much as they could. It would be hard for me to imagine because the police or soldiers or whatever would protect us no matter what comes our way! That is how we would feel if we were in a similar situation.

 

Thank you very much for reading our post. We hope you enjoyed it!  I hope that you learned some things about “Number the Stars.” Cam and I worked very hard on this post! Thank you for reading it!

Alien Visitor

 

Q: You are the commander of a space ship from a far away planet. This is your first visot to planet Earth and you must report back to your homeland about what you see. You are able to zoom in on all the areas of Earth and see all the unique and wonderful chactristics of the third planet from the sun.

 

“Commander here. I am about to land on Earth. You copy?” “Copy!” Says Oh. Oh is the guy that answers all of our space calls. As I land on Earth I say, “Oh do I have to do this? There are these monsters that are barking at me! HELP!” Oh responds,”Well did you try scaring them away? Did you land the space ship properly?” As I jump out of my seat I say, ” Oh you wont believe this! You should have come with me! It’s so beautiful!” “Get back on track Commander! Your mission is to search for features of Earth, the third planet from the sun, that we don’t know or have. Got it?” “Got it!” I say.

“I am back!” I say reporting back to Oh. ” Go ahead, I copy.” Oh says. ” I am here at a big hut ( a house ) and there is this big shiny thing with humans inside!” “That’s so weird!” Says Oh.

A little later the commander took a tent from a hut and decided to go camping. “I think I will make what ever the humans are doing!” Commander says to himself. Commander makes a fire, which he does not know what that means. ” Cool! ” says commander. Since commander is an alien he walks into the fire! “Hot, Hot, Hot!” “Oh here how are you doing?” Commander responds saying, “Hot, Hot, Hot!” “Are you ok?” Says Oh. “Not really because this aliens on fire!” Says commander laughing. “You better be joking!” Yells Oh. “I am. Well I walked throw fire not knowing what was going to happen.” “Oh ok.” Says Oh.

Commander kept going and saw these places, the Great Wall of China, the Golden Gate Bridge, tons of attractions, the Grand Canyon and Disney Land. Some of the attractions include camping, Knobels, the White House and so much more. Commander walked back to his spaceship. On his way back he saw large sections of water. (I think that is what it is called.)

“Commander here I am on my way back from Earth. Do you copy?” “Copy”, says Oh. “I had an amazing trip. I saw so many pretty sights. I went cs,ping, saw the Grsnd Canyon, Disneyland, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Great Wall of China. I saw monsters that bark and try to hurt me and big shiny things that have humans inside. You have got to go!” “Wow, sounds amazingly!” replies Oh. “See you next time on planet Earth!”

THE END!
