Reading the Weather Reading the World – Project Reflection

I really enjoyed this project. I  liked how we did a group ignite.  A group ignite is when there in one big slideshow with the slides changing every 15 seconds. The person had to speak over the slides. It was fun because it was hard you tried not to look at the slides. It was super fun. Here’s how we did it. First everyone got a part to work on for example I got the tornado group and I got effects. At the time, I had no idea how to write it. I had no information. Then I looked into books. I didn’t find a lot of information there. So I looked on the chromebook and found some great information. Then once I had the information I wrote a brain dump and just wrote everything I new about the effects of tornadoes. Here It Is:

Effects: When a tornado hits land it can cause a little damage or  a lot of damage. A way to know how much damage a tornado will cause is based on the Tornado rating classifications. An EF0 tornado might damage some trees and little structures. But, an EF5 tornado can rip buildings off their foundations. Tornadoes affect the environment by destroying buildings and trees. It may kill animals which affect the food chain and disrupts the whole environment. Tornadoes can destroy farms and other things that produce supplies and food, which could mean food shortage. After a tornado hits people have to rebuild anything it destroyed. Tornadoes can contaminate water and that is a problem not only to humans, but to plants and animals as well. Debris can be very dangerous, as it could kill plants and animals very easily. Some trees take over 100 years to grow so if they are destroyed, it could be hard to replace. There might be fires after a tornado has passed, this may happen because of power lines and gas leaks. Fire contributes to global warming by giving off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. That was my brain dump.

I was really glad we did that brain dump because it was so much easier to write the script. Then we made a google slideshow and put in pictures that matched what we were talking about. Then we rehearsed. Finally, we practiced in front of the class until we were use to talking in front of a group. Here is my finished slideshow.

Thanks for watching. 🙂

Book Review ( Double Fudge)

Link

This is my Book review on Double Fudge. We had to write an introduction to hook the reader. Then we had to talk a little about the book. Next we talked about a connection we had with the book. Last we wrote about what type of reader would like this book. Hope you enjoy my book review on Double Fudge.

Book: Double Fudge

Author: Judy Blume

Recommended by:Elizabeth

 

Do you have a younger brother or sister? Do they like something a lot and are always talking about it? Well in the book Double Fudge by Judy Blume, Peter’s brother Fudge can’t stop talking about money!

 

In the book Fudge is obsessed with money. He is constantly talking to people and asking them how much money they have. While Fudge continues to talk about money, Peter is determined to make it stop and put the money talk to an end.

 

I was able to connect to this book because Peter has a younger sibling who talks about something again and again and I have a younger sibling who does the same!

I rate this book five out of five stars. I recommend this book to people who like funny fiction stories. Hope you read  Double Fudge by Judy Blume.
