What are you discovering so far?
What i have dicovered throughout this project is that beaches have been polluted by many things, cause like by humans and animals. i think that its hard to know that the beach has so many bacteria and people get sick and this is something serious.
What surprises you about this project?
People get seriously sick and people can make a diffrence but people dont do it and with one change the beach would be a better place and make people get less sick and not just people is animals too.
What re your next steps to have a cool product and a great piece of writing?
Try my best, have interviews, take picture, make a good skit that way the video makes secence and explain the pictures and clips of the video.

Models
-lets people know the beach doesnt clean itself
-we should help the beach be clean
-having a clean beach is serious.
-keep our beaches clean
-pick up your trash
-let people know that they should help clean the beaches
these help because im having a partner where we are going to make a video and an article were we find out if people that see dirty water do they still pollute the water or do they pick up trash?, and what can we do as individuals to clean the beach? and i think that interviewing people can be helpful because we get to see what people think of the polluted ocean water.
OBAMAAA
What is the historical background of their story? What is the current state of their voting power in America?
The Youth have the right to vote at the age of 18. "Young voters went 2-to-1 in Mr. Obama’s favor on Tuesday." This quote states that mostly all youth voted for Obama and from this votes it made him win his vicory.

election reflection
Nov. 06,2008
How do you feel about the election?
I feel AMAZING knowing that the person that is a diffrent race once made it in the white house, and that i feel really happy because i wanted Barak Obama to win this election beacuse i think that he is going to do change to the United States and there is a chance for him to make the United States a better place.
What are your hopes for America and your community in the next few years?
I hope that over the years he does give illigal people that have been living in the United States for more than 15 years, thier pass ports and amke people happy but not to happy, that way they dont get to used to happiness.
What are your concerns for America and your community for the next few years?
My conserns are that there many people that didnt want Obama to win because he was black and since it was close to a tye many people are mad that the won so im concern that he might get shoot and im worried for im.
What have we done well as a class to build your understanding of current events?
What made us understand current events more are the blogs the we do every tuesday and thursdays.
What can we improve as a class (or you as an individual) to better build your understanding of current events?
I think that as a class we shown discuss many topic on what we are learning about and have a long discusion that way everyone is a part of the current events.
How do you feel in the numerous conversations about current events that take place outside of class?
There many events that happen outside of school and i think i can relate them to me and i think that i can realate any event to what is going on with the problems and i can see that i can relate any thing to a current event.

H2O project
Nov.2, 2008
Is it healthy when people, boats, and animals share the same beach?
"• combined sewer/storm overflows
• bypass of wastewater pollution control plants
• urban surface runoff
• animal waste
• poorly functioning septic tanks systems
• boating wastes
• sewage and oil spills
• medical waste and floatable trash/debris.
• Studies have shown that the majority of pollutant discharge into NYC's adjacent water originates from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs), stormwater overflows, bypass of pollution control plants, and urban surface runoff."
I think that people, boats, and animals sharing the same beach is dangerous for people and animals because the beach water contains many bad things that could be a risk for people and animals to get sick and be a possible chance of death.
What can we do to change the pollution of the beach?
"Individuals can also help control water pollution by taking simple actions such as using picking up pet waste, putting plastic pants on babies and keeping trash off the beach." I think that this quote is really what people can do, andit not had to do at least clean a little bit each time you go to the beach.
