Newscast

This week we have to blog about the Newscast we made in class with a group. My group was Kaitlyn, Jenna, and I. We did our newscast about the voting system in America and about the tally at the end of the election. Our newscast was pretty easy to do. Once we got started it got easier. The time limit was easy to go over. Ours was a lot longer than the time limit it was supposed to be. I think the hardest thing about the newscast was to attach the video to our actual newscast. 

Thankful

I am thankful for many things I have in my life. I am very thankful for my parents who give me all the opportunities I have. I am thankful for all of my siblings. I am very thankful for my friends who I see everyday at school. I am thankful that I can go to a good school and live in a good area that isn't very dangerous. Living in the United States is a big thing to be thankful for because we live in a free country. I am especially thankful to God for giving me all of these things. 

Political Cartoon

This is a political cartoon of Sarah Palin and John McCain with a voter. I think this cartoon pretty much explains itself. It is funny because underneath it all, Sarah Palin went along with whatever John McCain said or did. Even if this isn't completely true, it seemed like she was just a person helping him to win the office. This cartoon depicts it perfectly.

Invention

This week we have three new blogs. This is the first one. We are supposed to tell what we would invent if we could, what it would look like, etc. I decided that I would invent a clock that could stop time for however long you wanted it to. This way I would have more time to do homework, watch tv, and do other things after practice every night. This invention would be really helpful. It's a great invention.

This is a very inspirational picture at the Olympics in Beijing this year. It is because it was such a close race. Michael Phelps did get eight medals including this event.

Lesson Learned

We have to blog about a story. It has to be a story that we learned a lesson from. And the lesson has to be a critical one. I chose this one-Two years ago in eighth grade we had to read Tom Sawyer. We had about a month to read it, but i left it to the last three days to finish the book. It was a pretty long book and spent three nights just reading. It took up a lot of time and I didn't enjoy the book at all because I procrastinated. I learned that it is better to plan ahead and get homework done early rather than late.

Scary Movie

We had to do a new project in computer class using the podcast tool on the mac computers. I had never used this before so it was all new. We had to choose a scary movie to write a summary about and then to talk into the speaker about and record our summary. I chose the movie called The Village. I haven't seen it since I was in sixth grade but I guess I thought it was pretty scary. It was about a community of people living in a small secluded village and think the forests surrounding them are filled with creepy monsters. They haven't left the village for decades. The project was good because it was around Halloween time.
