My favorite entry that we ever did in blogging is the collective story.  This is because we all got to put our ideas together to make a really funny but messed up story!  I also really enjoyed doing this because it was a lot of fun to read your story at the end after all your friends put their part of the story in!  This is why I liked the collective story the best.

1. The thing that I liked about blogging is that it was something that was different.  I was used to getting really boring work sheets and I think that is really great to do things on blogs.  Also it was cool to have my own webpage on the internet! 
2. The thing that I liked least bout blogging is that it got graded really late.  And even if it was a grade i did not really help me to be a better writer.
3. I do feel that my writing did improve this year because of all the great activities that we did.  I do not think that blogs helped it at all though.  I think that I would have been just as good or better a writer with work sheets.
4. I think that blogs would be more effective if we got to use them more.  Also if you got to get to grading them faster. That is how blogs would be more effective and enjoyable!

    Many concerned people are fighting against the destruction of the Amazon rain forest.  Years ago, the Yahnomami moved to the rainforest and that is when the destruction of the rainforest began.  They started to build roads, cut down trees, and build sawmills.  Many people realized the loss of the rainforest because of the Yahnomami and started to help out.  For example, the Brazilian government set out 36,000 square miles for the Yahomami only.  That was so they had only their designated land to do their own thing on.  The biggest problem though, was 10,00 square miles cut down in 2004 alone.  Since soy farming has become popular, more roads are being built deeper into the forest.  Despite the loss so far, Brazil and other organizations are working together to help and save the rainforest.
