Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...." (explain)

10 years from now I will probably be in graduate school and 10 times more fabulous then I am now. I will probably have more of a clear sense of what I want to do with my life. I will probably be working really hard to do what ever I want to do and I will have a limited social life. I will have cats in wherever I am living and I will probably have roommates.

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

Someone may be for the issue of internet censorship because it provides a protection from things that people don't want to see or are not appropriate. If the internet was censored then people would not be able to access this sketchy materials. This would be good for kids and other people who are concerned about using the internet because of the inappropriate material.

Someone may be against the issue of internet censorship because it will provide too much government control. If the government has control over what we access online then the country will become like China or North Korea who restrict their citizens internet access so that they will not have access to information. This could lead to restrictions on knowledge about the government and restricted knowledge on other things going on around the world.

Internet Censorship

Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue?

Currently countries are trying to restrict access to certain questionable material on the internet. Some people do not want this to happen because it will restrict the freedom of knowledge on the internet. It could be bad because certain regimes severely restrict internet access to stop people from knowing about certain things. It has both upsides and down sides
What do you want to know about this issue?

I want to go further in depth about why people agree or disagree with this policy and their reasons for believing so. I also think this is an interesting

Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.
I chose this issue because I think it is a very interesting topic and I think that it will be important to know some about this in the future.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

You asked us to think differently so we could actually learn something from this class. If we just used bullets and headers we would not be able to expand our knowledge and our presenting skills. We already knew how to use Google Slides but it is important for us to explore and use more tools from the software. It is interesting to learn all of the wonderful things Google Slides has to offer. 

PSA

Kids these days are way too crazy. Kids need to be reading books and doing homework and instead they are going to parties. They are also very whiny. They cannot take really anything and it gets annoying having to repair their self esteem every time someone knocks them down. Kids music is also very scandalous. The number one songs are often highly inappropriate. Kids also spend way too much time on their phones. With the Twitter and Instagram kids never get off their phones. I wish kids were more like us when we were kids.

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA? What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.

A PSA is a government funded message played on either the radio or the TV trying to inform people about the harms or benefits of a certain habit or lifestyle. A good PSA is convincing and provides good information. It is short and to the point but gets the message across. PSA's usually get someone to take action by scaring them a little bit. My idea of what my PSA will be is that it will have a lot of good information and will be convincing.

Tell me all about your 3 day weekend. Share photos!

Over the weekend I had a dance team competition at Olathe South and we did well! I performed a solo and we had two group dances. Since this is Kansas and everyone is a winner here I am not really sure how it went but they felt good. On Sunday I didn't do much but I worked on all of my homework and online P.E. work. On Monday I went to the mall with my friend Mallory and we went shopping in Nordstroms, Lush, and Sephora. I got a bath bomb and some makeup. After that we went and got lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe. When I got home I went to dance. I had ballet and leaps and turns that evening. that pretty much sums up my weekend!

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

This class has so far been easy and I think it will become more challenging and exciting. I think all of the things with Google Drive have been useful and will continue to be useful. I think that once we get more into the swing of things everyone will get more comfortable and the class will get more fun. I want to learn how to be a better student using online resources and I think this class will help me with that.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.
This weekend I went to dance on Saturday and Sunday and did homework. At dance we found out that the music was cut wrong and we had to add four extra eight counts. We also got our costumes for two of our dances and they were very cool. I hope I can get the rest of my costumes soon! I went to Corner Bakery on Sunday where my brother works and I had lunch there.  I also watched Grey's Anatomy and finished all the episodes on Netflix.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself

This post has a lot of meaning for teenagers because we always want to blame everything on someone else. This shows that if you want something to happen you cant just wait around for it to happen you have to go get it. No one else can give you fun or happiness you have to find it your self. I also think that it gives a message of independence about how you have to do things for your self and if you want to be treated like an adult then you have to act like one.
