I would rather go sky diving than scuba diving. I have always wanted to go skydiving. It would be cool jumping out of a plane. I also have never flown in a plane so i think that would also be really cool.I would rather jump out of a plane than swim with the fish and sharks and any other of scary animals in the sea. (Shivers.) Jumping out of a plane might sound and seem scary, but I think it would be a good experience before you get older and cant do it.I have never done it before but i think it would be cool jumping out of planes.

If I was an animal in a zoo I would be a parrot. Being a parrot I would hate being caged in a zoo. When people come and visit/watch me I feel sad because when there are kids who are usually with  their parents and I can’t be with mine if I’m in a box. Another way I would feel about people watching me is mad because they always tap on the glass and drive me nuts! The last way I feel about people watching me is depressed because they get to go about the world while I’m stuck in a glass box.

 

If I was an animal is the zoo, I would be a tiger since they get a larger habitat. I would rather roam free but it fascinates people to see a tiger. Some tigers are very rare. I think the ones at the zoo are Bengal Tigers. Bengal tigers are very rare. They are usually seen in Africa or Australia. But there are 2 at the Philadelphia zoo right now! I would not like have people staring at me all day. People could be weird sometimes, they might just stay there. I would not like to live in a habitat, I want to live free.

 

If I was an animal in a  zoo like I said before I would be a parrot because they can fly around. I would hate having people watch me all day because then I couldn’t get and rest with everyone ponding on the glass and yelling at me to wake up. Another reason I would hate to be a zoo animal is because people would always be watching me and I think that’s creepy. The last reason why I wouldn’t like to be a zoo animal is because I would always have people be coming into my cage. Nobody would like to be caged in at a zoo. I would like to be a tiger, but not caged up with people staring at me. If I were a tiger, I would need to be free in the wild.

I think that without the voting system americans would be out of control because when people vote it lets them agree on a leader and if we didn’t have that then we probably would have some crazy leader that none likes. I think that we would end up with a leader that no one likes because if we didn’t vote then we wouldn’t have a say in what leaders we have. With the voting system we have a say in what leaders we want to have but without the voting system people would just apply and get the job. If people we didn’t have the voting system then people wouldn’t be able to express themselves in their opinion. If we didn’t have the voting system people would have no idea what is going on.

 

That was Cam’s point of view, now it’s my turn. I think it would be really weird, no one would be president, or anyone could run for president. Even if they didn’t have any education they would still become president. Also, you would have presidents that would be bad. They could have committed a crime. The last opinion in my point of view is there should not be no voting because random people could join government and presidency. We will talk more about not having a voting system in the next paragraph.  What do you guys think, would you want a voting system like we already have, or would you want to have where anyone can be a governor or president?

 

I think that if we didn’t have the voting system then we wouldn’t have a president. I think that if we didn’t have the voting system we wouldn’t have a president because we wouldn’t be able to agree on a president and we would get a random president. I also think that without the voting system we would get a random president because nobody would be vote for a president. I agree with Cam. I think we would have no president or no governors. Our world would be out of control.  We would also not have elections, so nobody could be president. The only way would be to fake it. Not even be elected (Even though there are no elections). Random people could be governors and presidents. 

I worked as a part of a team before. I work as a part of a team when I play basketball.We work as a team, we pass, talk about the game-plan, and work together. we like to practice our shooting too. We usually do scrimmage at practice. Scrimmage is where your team plays against each other. Its kind of confusing to explain what  scrimmage is, but its where u have 2 captains, they pick someone on your team to be on there team and you pick until no one is left. Then you play against each other. You also have to work as a team while playing in a real game or championship. In order to work as a team you have to pass, get a good ball handle skill, and help your teammate out if he got push or accidentally shoved to the ground. Hopefully you have a good teammate that passes, shoots, steals, blocks, and has good ball handling. Not everyone can do that, for instance I cant block, i’m only 4’9, and my brother cant rebound, but like I said, that’s  not for everyone. But that is all i have to say about basketball and how I worked a a team, and also,  how you can work as a team.

How would you summarize “How to become a united states presidential candidate? Joel M: Black Tyler MU: Blue Derek: red

 

To serve as a president of the united states, a person must be a natural born citizen. Which means the person has to have been born in the United States. Additionally, the person must be at least thirty-five years and must have lived in the United States for at least fourteen years. To understand how a person becomes a presidential candidate it’s critical to understand the role of political parties. . Throughout the decades there have been 44 presidents.

 

In order for a bill to become a law, the president has to sign the bill. The government has to agree on it. If the president vetoes the bill, then the government have to vote on it, but if not enough, they will not get the law. The senate is the one who chooses the law.

 

Selecting a president has become an increasingly complex process over the past two centries.  When George Washington became president of the united states in 1789, he was unanimously selected by delegates to attend the second Continental Congress. All the delegates agreed that he should become president. At that time people designated by the states simply came together and held a meeting to select Washington as president.Times have certainly changed.

 

In state primaries and caucuses, party members vote for the presidential candidate on whom they believed best represents their particular party. Each major political party holds a national convention during an election year. Each state chooses a Democrat and a Republican. Whoever has most votes  faces off for the presidential candidate. There will be 1 Republican and 1 Democrat. Whoever wins the poll is elected new president.

One time there was a guy named Al. Al liked to fish. One time, Al caught a fish so big, that it took him into the water with the fish. But the fish wasn’t a big fish, it was a great white shark. The shark came after him while he was swimming to the nearest boat he could find. The shark kept going around in circles, he just kept on circling him until he would get out of the water. Just then, a huge fish came out and started fighting the shark. The shark bit him in the side gill, but he went back at the shark and bit him in the gill. He carried the man back to safety. The man could still not believe what just happened, Al went back to fishing again after the incident. He caught that same fish, and threw it back in the water for payment from saving him.

The best thing to do on a snow day is play with my friends and cousins. I really like when the snow turns icy` and you can stand on it when you sled you go so fast. I also like the ice because you can fight your brother and not sink when you fall to the ground.I love packing snow too. You can make sled trails or snowballs with packing snow.A fun thing that I like to when it snows is go outside and build a snowman go sledding and just playing in the snow with my cousins.

 

Another, thing to do on a snow day is dig holes. Doesn’t seem exciting but if you have over 2ft of snow, you can dig holes, tunnels, and Forts. You can also build giant igloos. I like to make forts like tyler said it is really fun until it falls on you and you get mad because you just finished it.

 

Another thing that we like to do in the snow is snowmobiling. I like to snowboard too. I love going down huge hills, falling into huge piles of snow, and then doing it all over again. Snowboarding is like the same thing as sledding, just you stand and go a lot faster. Snowmobiling is really fun to do with friends. What I do is connect a tube to the back and we get pulled by the snowmobile and we get huge air.
The last thing we like to do on a snow day is SHOVEL. Just kidding no one likes to shovel, I use a snow blower. You hole theses to buttons down, the you start moving and it will come flying out of this little thing. (i don’t know what it’s called.) Another thing I like to do is go snowboarding with my friends and family it is really fun and sometimes I fall into the snow and it is very cold I watch other people snowboard to and I think it is very Awesome. And other stuff I love to do when it Snows outside is build forts and then when it is really big we have a snowball fight it is either a free for all or just 2 teams. I usually do 2-3 teams only if we have like 8-10 people. we usually get some down our back, but it doesn’t matter. Another thing I like to do is play a tournament of snowball fights like it’s a war all around my house and if you get hit you’re out till the next game or the next round and it is really fun. The last thing we are going to write about is (drum roll) Video games. Now on snow days, sometimes you have to stay inside. Well, what better to do than video games. I love playing NBA 2k16. So does Derek. Also, hot chocolate.But what else is there to do inside, watching tv is boring after a while, so do something active, like video games (warning: they are not active for the legs or arms, just fingers.) NBA 2K16 is a great game, it’s just basketball, but in a video game. I love to be the OKC Thunder, and Derek likes to be the Chicago Bulls, both of our favorite teams. I love to play videogames I play NBA 2k16 and I play it with my friends and I beat my friend 104 to 61 and it was awesome I also play other games I play NFL 16 and MADDEN 16. I have a xbox one and I play with people from school and have lots of fun.
