These few classes we have been playing a game that consists of research and lots of fun! while playing this game I learnt a lot but these are a few things, did you know that during the renaissance paper money hadn’t been invented so you had to carry heavy coins around all the time. Did you ever bother to find that the umbrella was invented and only women used it because males didn’t like to.

1.What is the issue?

A parked car suddenly exploded in northeast of Baghdad, killing at least 32 people and wounding 50, on Wednesday.

2.Who is involved?

The police, the 32 people that died and the 50 people wounded

3.Who is affected and how?

The owner of the car, the 32 people that died and the 50 people wounded.

4.What would you do if you were directly involved?

If I was directly involved I would put police on the streets that would go around with metal detectors to detect bombs around parking lot, parking areas and so fourth. i would also like to help the people whose families were destroyed because loosing people so suddenly without warning is horrible:( !

 

All of the recordings were awsome and I think it was such a good idea to record them, because it’s was funner than reading or making a poster and it even saves paper! At class today we listened to everyones interview about there renaissance person. today i learnt that a lot of the famous people were painters or sculptures others were kings and queens and others were inventors.

I think this project was very fun but if I could re-do it I would either…

Make two of the renaissance people fight with each other

or

Record it but with a modern slang and older English.

But the project is good as it is. :)  

������� When some one brought up the topic of “have you ever thought of why things always fall” i felt so ashamed to say “no actually i never thought about that” and just by saying that i started to wonder are there other little things that i never notice… well of course but lets go bit by bit. Isaac Newton was this first person that asked himself “why do things fall?” and he found out that there is a force called gravity that pulls everything towards itself. He discovered the three laws of gravity, he also made up calculus and helped the optic studies. he was a pretty interesting guy but he hated the attention he just wanted to get answers to all his questions. he was mean to people that complimented him about his work. even though he was such a great scientist there were things he liked better, what was a popular study at that time is how to make gold out of normal things and he loved it. when they studied his body after he died they found pieces of mercury (that could kill you).� �http://ssl.serc.iisc.ernet.in/~kalidas/newton.jpg http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits/treasures/images/newton.gif http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/mly0892l.jpg

http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/suicide-bomber-kills-nine-afghan-policemen/2007/04/17/1176696800544.html

     A suicide bomber blew himself up among Afghan policemen doing their morning exercise. Killing nine and wounding 25. The Taliban felt responsable for the second deadly suicide on police in 2 days, the bombers were targetting killing nearly 700 last year. :0

     How are the 2 events connected?

With this 2 pieces of information proves to us that suicides happen often and this should prove that a lot of people are wiling to end others people’s lives to end theirs.

     What did you find intresting about this topic?

the world that we know here in Malaysia seems like a pretty good life but this shows me that just because we have a good life a ton of other people don’t and I think that we are soo lucky but as humans we tend to want more even thought we have things the people in other poor places dosen’t even know exist.

As we all know gymnastics is one of the most unfair and unusual sport yet people are so attached to it because there are so few gymnasts that get as far as Shannon Miller did. She has won seven Olympic metals thought out the years, which proves she is dedicated to gymnastics (only 3 other gymnasts’ mach this record). She is still alive and still admired. Everyone knows that gymnastics is a hard, hard sport because there is so many ways you could get hurt and a lot of chances in being paralyzed or even killed if you jump wrong or if you mess up your step. Imagine you didn’t stench one day before practice you could hurt a muscle badly. Or the chalk that you put on before climbing which stops you from slipping is the same chalk used in the hands of Shannon when she is swinging and flipping from bar to bar during practice or the Olympic if she didn’t do so (because she is human so she can forget) she could slip and fall and even thought there is a matt under there is always those odd moments that people miss the matt. Even thought all this in on her mind as she practices she keeps a sunny-side up attitude and she makes it through. Who knows maybe one day she will miss the matt but we will have to wait and see because her story isn’t over yet.   As we all know gymnastics is one of the most unfair and unusual sport yet people are so attached to it because there are so few gymnasts that get as far as Shannon Miller did.

What is the issue?          President Bush is requested on Saturday 8,200 new troops to send to
Afghanistan and
Iraq. To do so he needs 3.2 billion American dollars. When just last January he sent 21,500 troops already. He needs the approval of the congress of the
United States. They need the money for various reasons in both countries. To
Afghanistan is mostly about police training, in
Iraq it’s mostly for the new
Baghdad security plan.  

Who is involved?          President Bush, The Congress. 

Who is effected and how?          
Afghanistan and
Iraq are both affected because they both needed help and with this large budget they have the help they need to train their police troops, and to help with the security of
Baghdad. The citizens of the
United States because the money that is used is actually taxes that the people of the U. S. A have to pay. The whole world is also affected because as
U. S. A. dose this they become more and more powerful. 

What would I do it I was directly involved?          If I was part of the congress I would see if there was any way to see if the people wanted help from the U. S. A who knows maybe they don’t. I would also see that since we have such a large budget if they need anything else like food or clothes. 

Over many years people have learnt to be independent, most poeple are wling to go very far for what they want and or belive in some people are willing to die for it. In Europe there were a lot of people that did this because they wanted to get to the Holy Land in Jerusalem and it’s still happening and I can porve it to you because its appening llover the world like fundraisers or protestes. Now I’m going to tel you about Vietman, it has decided to protest against America because America has been promising better protection. This could just be ignored by Americaor it could turn into a war and a lot of people are going to die. So people haven’t change much everyone wil go far for something or someone they belive.

Religion as always been important but in the middle ages is was so imprtant that you could be killed if you said something disrespectful about God. The people who worked in the Church were usually the most educated and were the only ones who learned to read and write because when they were free they would copy from the bible which recuaiers reading and writing. There were many types of “jobs” in the Church you could be a monk, a priest, the pope, or a bishop. No matter what “job” you had wakening up early was something all these had in common. The word ‘holiday’ comes from ‘holy day’ such as easter, christmas, all saints day ect. All the jobs applied only for men. A monk would usully spend his day making bread to give to the poor helping the sick and teach people who were urious and wanted to know more about God.

Get More Information On Anthony’s Blog: http://anthony3190.learnerblogs.org/

     At least 60 citizens of Iraq were killed in a separet of ferocious bomb and gun attacks, targeting mostly Shiite areas of the capital.

     2 more American troops were reported murdered during a weekend fighting around Baghdad. At the same time, Iraqi officials say the Baghdad security plan has slightly lowered. 

     The daily number of bodies found with bullet holes and dumped in isolated places mostly waterways has continued  hanging dramatically from peaks of 60 or 70 per day in December to an average of 13 a day over the lasts weeks, according to unofficial hospital and police reports.

How Are Your Two Events Connected?? 

     This new tragity is connected to Anthony’s because they both talk about Iraq and also because they are both based on what is said to be terrorism. Both of these terrible accidents could be the fault of the same poeple.

What Did You Find Interesting About This Topic??

     I find this topic very intresting and important because people’s lives are getting ruined over these kinds of things and both of these tragic events happened to some of the same people which is terrible. If i could do anything to help I would these things happen all the time and sometimes a lot of times to the same people which is either bad timeing or people like messing with other people’s lives.
