I think that getting to write your own story with a help with the characters and settings and all of that is a great feeling. I liked doing this project because it was fun to be the character and have all of these bad things happing when you know that it will be good at the end. I also like doing the podcast I think since Mr. Solarz's class is twenty first century classroom it is a good idea to use garage band and to read are storys out loud with are emotion it makes it easier for the reader to feel the characters emtion to instead of just reading a story and not using any emtion.

    Happy Arbor day in class today we found out how arbor day got started!!! The first Arbor Day was  on April 10, 1872. Arbor day encourages people to plant trees. The man who created it was Julius Sterling Morton he was the one to create arbor day. He was born  in Adams, Jefferson County, New York, April 22, 1832. Millions of people celebrate April 22 as Earth Day the week of earth day for the week we start it off with earth day and end it with Arbor day. but for more than 100's of years April 22 is the birthday of Julius Sterling Morton who first proposed Arbor Day as a tree-planting holiday in Nebraska in 1872.
     Nebraska was mostly plains and practically treeless awards were given to those who planted the most trees on that first Arbor Day. More than 1 million trees were planted on the first day of Arbor Day.

    Happy Earth Day everyone in class we took a nature walk around the school with partners and we where only aloud to take 2 pictures. The reason we did this was because it is important to look at the natural beauty of the earth an that is why we took a nature walk. I took the ones above. I took the one of the pine cone one because it shows that the pine cone has already been bloomed and opened into the WORLD. I took the picture of the tree and the roots because it looks like the tree is sucking up all of the nutrients from the dirt and water

    In class we had a hearing to have the captains power on a ship should have limits. I think that a captain should   have limits for his ship because if he has no limits he could do crazy things like making the crew or sailor work all day without a break. I also believe that the sailors should have some power to but with the same amount of limits as the captain does. Captains should be nice and encourage them to do better because if he encourage them for the good stuff they do the sailors or crew members will want to do more good stuff then bad. They should also punish the crew members if they are bad and the punishment all depends on the level of bad they do. Crew members need to be in good shape to help the captain out on there voyage so if the captain treats the crew badly the crew won't be able to help out with voyage as much as they could if they where in good shape.
