Proud Work



I am proud of this final product because i have worked hard in finishing my product, although i did get help i fell like i can accomplish my work;like this project i have shown how i can make my assignments more fun and make people have a visual in what im learning and i could be able to send a message to the audience and i could make them see tha it is important for people to know why this is important. This is my water pollution project and i think this is one of my best work because i think that its very informative and it leaves people with a thought of changing the pollution and getting people to be involved in volenteering.

Sea Shepherd

3. Describe three literary techniques and/or writing conventions you can take from this article to use in your writing for the H2O Project?


During the whole H2O project i have struggled with structure, clarity, and organization. i think they make sence but in a general view it doesnt. people tell me i need to

"They belonged to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a vigilante organization founded by Paul Watson, thirty years ago, to protect the world’s marine life from the destructive habits and the voracious appetites of humankind"

"Watson was also doing, not thinking." which was an honest opinion without being against the organization. Because they are very dangerous about how they go about their process in saving whales. Its actually not a very organized navy. Sometimes they arent sure where they are going or where they are. Also having to go in broken down ships without knowing. This was a great wat to close his article it brought everything back in to summerize Watson. This structure was thoughtfully organized, and will definitly be used for the H2O project as a refrence to structured work.

He's Not Black

1. Arana writes: "Isn't it time for the language to move on?" How do you feel about this? Why?


I think that there is no reason for people to just judge people by their color.


there are places around the world were people call other people names due to color, race, and ethnicyty. There Are mexicans, asians, whites, blacks, etc. and people realize what they are what they are and the language should move on because life doesnt revolve around race. Language should be about getting to know people instead of judging the person. When we judge people, we do the same thing, we may treat that person different depending What race the are. i think that its not bad its just a matter of how you put it. “I am fifty percent German. But no one who sees me believes it.” said a college student from Pittsburgh. there are people that take what they are but people dont realise it. This it what should move on the language that people should know the person instead of just judging them from their looks.

but there are people that take pride in the names. people like mexican descent, african american, etc. they are glad to call themselves blacks, whites, mexicans, etc. and what ever they glad to call themselves. There people that use the names they get becauseof their national symbol or personal pride. These names don’t always have to be related to race, ethnicity, or color, but often they do.

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.

-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.
