The PSA Gradeing

I thought Halie's, Emma's, and Lauren's blog was very Impact full. Emma's and Halie's blog both had amazing facts about the internment and if there subject dose not stop the things that are going to happen to us if it is animals of indagered species going extinct. Or if the amount of Co2 gets to high and there are not enough trees to take in the Co2 and our air quality goes bad. Ether way both the subjects had great information and really wanted me to do something about them. Lauren's was good in a different way you could tell she put a few hours into it and it was more than just a few pictures and written facts you saw how people whale with there own eyes and it made you want to do something about it. Even thought I did not agree with one of the facts I still thought it was really good. It was hard to judge what ones were the worst because I believe we didn't see them all. The ones a I think needed a little more work thought were Alex's, Ben's and Jeff's out of the three of those Jeff's was the best if he did a little editing it may be up with one of the top three. Ben and Alex it just look a little slapped together like they didn't spend a lot of time on it and just wanted to get it done and play or do something different. Maybe they did not like the project. I did like the Earth Interactions Assignment and hope we do more like this in the future. Not freshmen year but though high school and collage.

What I Learned

This project has been different. Never in a school life has a teacher given so much freedom to complete a task. The class was told take something you really like and go nuts do 14 days of research some studying on your own and go for it. This made it challenging  at times but easy because we had guidance form the teachers every day of the week. The other part that has made this a lot easy on us was all the work time they gave us. For me 85% of this project was done in class the only large part not done is class was the data collection. When I started my data collections I was a little discouraged with the data. Only 3% of the cars were hybrids. That doesn't sound like a lot, but the national percentage of cars that are hybrids are only between 4% and 5% of the cars produced. So in the end my data made scene. As for my family we didn't go out and buy a hybrid car. We didn't think about getting a hybrid and we probably wont. These hybrid cars are very important to slowing the depletion of fossils fuels. If this task wants to be completed we need to get more of these hybrids on the streets.

Life In The Middle East.

Life is very different in the Middle East. Due to the high tension area there is a lot of segregation among people, the most notable is the Jewish religion vs the Palestinians. Each thinks that this area is there holy land and that all the land there belongs to them. Well the problem with this is people are being kicked out of there land even if they have the dead to the lot or property. They need to set up military check points in many spots between the to counties and you need special permitting and documents just to travel say 20 miles. This makes finding work seeing family every thing a large problem. Many people will "look suspicious" and not make it through the check point this is a regular thing and they will just be kicked out of the car and told to walk home. This in my mind is a big reason why some people are upset they feel like they cant even get to the other part of the country. As if every time we rode the bus we would need our passport and say a school document that would let us go to arrowhead and getting to school and home would be a 3 hour event. The other thing is the judicial system in these countries are so bad they can lock people up for life almost without ever charging or committing a crime. People can be labeled as "high risk and taken away to almost never see there families. This makes everyone feel uneasy to the point that the men will carry a M16 to say a volleyball game among 12 year kids. Or a track and field events among 12 year old kids also.

There is segregation among the same people the pair of twins couldn't stand there fellow Jewish fallows they say that they are scary and they don't want to be seen as one of them. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to be seen as one of the crazy Jesus people that go around trying to get everyone to believe in Jesus and praying that he will send the miracle of a parking spot towards the door at the mall. The other problem is everyone is forced to join the military except the supper Jewish followers. These are all reasons for high tension among the same group of people.

The earth

I think that the native Americana just enjoy what they have they love just walking in the grass and observing and enjoying the nature. They understand what the earth gives to them and because of that they treat it much better. They don't look at the science part of if they destroy the world like global warming so they go green like the average human. They seem to get that special connection with world and nature so they treat it much better. I think everyone could be a better at going green they don't need to get that special earth connection but the Native Americans are just good at treating the earth like a family member.

whats needed

I have ordered my book. I have finished my proposal. I need a little more time like a few minutes to finish my calendar but that wont take long. I am going to start my data collection today (Monday). My question is what are we doing with this. Paper, power point, Prezi, what. I also know that we have to right a letter but I am not sure how we are going to do that or who were sending it to. Will we go over that soon?

go green video

In our family we do try to go green just today my parents brought home the groceries in those reusable bags. This was the first time we did that but we try. My dad car pools and I car pool to work on the weekends. I thought this was just an average video that tells the same information but they did a cool job at it. Mr.B never showed us how to video tape real people but we have made videos like that in the past and I am sure we could make a video as good as that one or better.
