Go through 40 ideas for a Greener World and POST FIVE to your blog that you will follow this week. When you return Mon. May 10, we will discuss and assess your actions.

1. Leave grass clippings on the lawn after you mow rather than bagging and throwing them away. This saves energy and landfill space and the grass will decompose and return nutrients to the soil.

2. After birthday and holiday celebrations, save gift bags and boxes, ribbons, and tissue paper to reuse.

3. Invest in a set of rechargeable batteries and a charger for powering your digital camera, portable music player, remote control, and other gadgets. You'll reduce waste, save resources like steel, and save money in the long run.

4. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth and shave and you'll save as much as 3,000 gallons per year.

5. Find out how to recycle items that you can't place in your curbside bin like batteries, compact fluorescent light bulbs, and plastic bags. When in doubt, call your local solid waste management agency or go to earth911.org.

Do Now: ON YOUR BLOG Imagine you are from another country and you READ this story about a man dying on a Septa bus

What would you assume about Philadelphia? Explain how these assumptions are both true and false. How can our society improve? Do we need to?

Me coming from another country I would think that Philadelphia is no place for a person to be. This is because it seems that Philadelphia does not care about there citizens. Our society can improve and we can care about more people as we move on. A man dying on a bus EXTREMELY overboard. Shows people that nobody about the community , just about themselves and it is not even all. But the little that shows affects everybody.

March Of Dimes, 4/13

Well the March of Dimes is for the purpose of babies. This is a yearly procedure and they always make a profit off of this. Each year it is a walk of 5 miles (2.5 one way 2.5 coming back) . This walk is good for you to get out and enjoy the weather and maybe a good family support time. The money for these babies prevent them from getting sick, developing life threating diseases and lastly death. Many of these babies are premature and are needing for because their parents or health insurance does not cover them. Most of the time the money is needed for the supplies because their supplies are very expensive and money does not grow on trees! From my experience last year, it was a very nice time for bonding or just for you to get out and enjoy. The walk maybe hot so you would need refreshments to keep cooled. Little snacks are given towards the middle of the walk and at the end also. The babies are really in need and it would really make an impact if you did this walk. Just imagine if that was your sibling you would want the help....

MARCH OF DIMES WALK !

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

To Me This Statement Says That Nothing Happens To Fix The World. This Is Being Sarcastic Towards Many People. Nobody Does Not Is Quick To Fix The Community Or Everywhere .

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

To me this statement says that in order for a change to start , you have to start it. I take it that you have to enforce on what you want. Many people say things that they can start but they do nothing about it. So basically to get what you want start it , our do something about it.

Bullying Post !

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125065190&ft=1&f=1013

The boy in Georgia hanged himself and the parents believed this act was because of the bullying in his school. The teachers in his school did not act on this and left him alone. Also a boy named Tyler had a disease that effected his life. He was a smart boy that was going to graduate early but people still bullied him. He was very depressed about school and about the things students did to him. These things might have been stuffing food in his mouth, touching his things unwillingly and many more. After a while he had to have someone watch him after he changed from gym. 

My response to this incident is that he was a very good child and he did not have anything to do. He was smart and me personally I think thats what it was. Nobody liked him and wanted to be like him or maybe something like that. But he couldn't take this off of him mind. Maybe his parents should have just put him in something that would get him off of his mind. But he needed something to do for all of this away from him, or just get a transfer. This is how I would take care of this situation. Or teach my son to just defend himself.

Do Now: Health Care

I say that the senate passing the bill was a good thing because more people would be able to be cared for. There might be more money involved but the people of America are who needs to be focused on instead of others. Obama has been working on this bill for a year now and im glad to know that many people are getting cared for.

Reaction to The Video

I think that the video shows how many people have come to America to get help. Many people are lost from this earthquake and some are unable to be helped because of how long they have been without any help. I feel very bad and all i can do is help with supplies and pray for the best .

Mini Research Project

My question was "Who is better Michael Jackson or Prince?". When I interviewed my classmates 4 of them said Michael Jackson and 1 said Prince. Lavaughn and Shante said "He dances better and sings better too." Erica and Marcus opinionated " He keeps it real and dances better." Lastly Steven emphasized that "Prince is way better because he sings better." In conclusion most people say that  Michael Jackson is better than prince because he sings and dance better than Prince.

Election of 2008

"This years election was really apart of history." That is what everyone says. To me I say it is apart of history but it is a real good thing that happened. Barack Obama, the president of the United States of America, is a real african american and he actually made it as a president.  He is the first president of America. He was only just seven when the first candidate tried to become president and did not make it. Yet he tried and won the presidency.

Animal Farm Essay

Although animal Farm appears to be a simple story of animals, it is actually a satire of the Russian society. In this book animals overthrew humans o take over their farm. George Orwell, a British author, who wrote this in favor of how idiotic the Russians with their ruler, Stalin. This book was written after the Russian Revolution. This was written in favor of benefits and advantages of series. Also to show how powerful stories can be. In Animal Farm, the pigs use stories and they are inspiring others, empowering themselves, and to oppress other animals on the farm.

First the pigs use stories to inspire others. One way they inspired the animals was the speech from Old Major. They all sang a song called "Beasts of England". Old Major said "Almost overnight we could become rich and free." They also progressed a windmill. Snowball and the other animals made a windmills to produce electricity. Snowball and the other animals made a windmill but it gets knocked down by Old Major and his crew. After all it successfully got made again it gace electricity and helped them out. The story of the rebellion. All the animals attacked the humans. Most of the animals were fine, but Snowbal the pig got hurt from old major. After all of the story, these are the inspiring stories from the animals from "Animal Farm."

The pigs use stories to empower themselves. From the rule of sleeping in bed. First the commandment was no animal shall sleep in bed. Now the animals changed it to no animal shall sleep in a bed without sheets. The milks and apples were empowering. They took the milk and apples from the others and told them they needed it. " You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this to selfishness and privilege. Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Milk and apples contain the substances of a well being pig. We pigs are the brain workers." Napoleon, the pig, made eggs with the hens an empowering situation. Squealer and Napoleon made the hens lay about 400 eggs a week. These stories really show how the pigs empower themselves.
The pigs used stories to oppress the animals. Taking away the meetings away on Sundays; the decision made my Napoleon. He took the meetings away because it was just too much time wasted from working time. The slaughtering process is an oppressing situation. They told the other animals about what they did and they would get slaughtered. For we at this moment the equality between them animals. The commandments are a show of oppresstion. Their were first 7 commandment for the animals to go by. Their are only 1 commandment at the end. Napoleon and Squealer changed it. Now it is " All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others". Those are they was the animals were lying to oppress.

In George Orwells satire if the Russians, the pigs tell lies to get what they want. First they use stories to inspire. Second they use stories to get power for themselves. Third they use stories to take power away from others. It could happen again because you need to be aware of the power and your surroundings.

Third Annotation

From the website of: http://www.nathanielturner.com/educationhistorynegro29.htm

This is what i did for my second annotation....read this article.


Martha Lum was classified with the nergo, and the brown, yellow, and black races, on the other, and therefore that Martha Lum, of the Mongolian or yellow race, could not insist on being classed with the whites [Ed.'s italics] under this constitutional division. From the court, they said no separate public schools for Mongolians [Ed.'s italics], she is entitled to enter the white public schools in preference to the colored public schools. Had the petition alleged specifically that there was no colored school in Martha Lum's neighborhood to which she could conveniently go, a different question would have been presented, and this, without regard to the state Supreme Court's construction of the state Constitution as limiting the white schools provided for the education of children of the white or Caucasian race. But we do not find the petition to present such a situation.

Summary of this paragraph:

Well this paragraph is about Martha Lum's school that she will be attending to. They gave Martha the right to go to a white schol and their were none in her neighborhood. So they told her she had to attend a "colored" school. This is what this little section of this article is about. The article is very interesting and it grabs my attention and it should grab yours also.

Second Annotation

Gong Lum was Martha Lum father and he really did not like what happened to his daughter. Gong Lum is resident of Mississippi, resides in the Rosedale consolidated high school district, and is the father of Martha Lum. So he wanted this to become a case at the court. This case was called the "Gong Lum vs Rice" was a success and it went to the court. Chief justice Taft noted "(h)ad the petitioner alleged specifically that there was no colored school in Martha Lum's neighborhood a different question would have been presented."

GONG LUM at al. v. RICE et al. No. 29.

My issue is Abortion. Obama says that abortion, he leaves it up to the woman that has this. I say this would be correct because they are the right way. Candidate McCain says that abortion should be the right to women just like Obama. This is the issue that i choose because i am a girl that had problems but never ad to deal with that issue. My family members had to do with abortion. 

The Obama part of the election

The issues that I choose for Obama's  part of the election is education. This is that people are really no able to lean. I say this because in some countries people do not have enough money to help people and the schools do not have enough money to supply every child.
