My thoughts on Blogging in the Classroom
I liked using the computers a lot when we blogged. I think it was a lot of fun to do. It was also fun having our very own web page. But the one thing I liked best was the "Langauge arts" Blog. One of the reasons why is because everybody just kept on adding such strange things and changing it's color. I liked pretty much everything about blogging except for one thing. And that is because we weren't allowed to use the smilies except for the Language Arts Blog. I think my writing has improved a little. This is not really because of the lessons we were taught in class. It is partly from reading other people's entries and seeing their way of writing. So I was able to learn how to write in different ways from that. I think that we should be able to use the smilies more often. We should also do more fun writing assignments, and more of the collective stories. Both of these things could help make blogging more fun.
Summary Part #3!!!!
Concerned people are fighting against the loss of the Amazon rain forest. Hundreds of years ago, the Yanomami people started settling in the Amazon Rain forest. In the 1960s, other poor families began settling in the Rain Forest. This brought in many roads, sawmills, and loggers. In 1991, the Yanomami received 36,000 square miles of land from the Brazilian government. In the year 2004 alone, almost 10,000 square miles of the rain forest had already been cut down. Over the years, experts say that about twenty percent of the Amazon rain forest has been destroyed. Soy farming is making things in Brazil even worse then before. When soy farming, the land gets cleared out, and destroys even more land. The Amazon Region Protected Area, (ARPA) and the WWF are helping to protect the rain forest. Together, they are now protecting twelve percent of this land, which is about the size of California.
