PSA

I liked all the PSA's but the three i liked the most was Lauren's, Emma's, and Sara's. Lauren showed how much she cares for the whales and how big why we need to stop killing them. I liked how the music and pictures set the mood; along with the fact that she had facts and even a person speaking. I think the Man she had speaking in the video was a good idea. Sara made her PSA funny but still informational. She also took characters from a movie and connected them to her project. Sara said why we need to recycle and what methane is. Emma explained how the trees collect carbon dioxide and when we burn them down it releases gases into the atmosphere. I think Jeff's, Alex's, and Ben's needed more information. They where good but they where as inspiring as the others

Blog Reflection

I thought this project was going to be hard but, then as we got more into it I realized that it really that hard. I am doing the topic Johnson Controls, but because of the trouble of finding a book for it I switched it to just energy. I feel that my book had nothing do with my topic (energy). In the beginning it was about this family that goes up north and falls in a cave and find a "Secret Power" but it never said much about the power just that they were in the cave for a long period of time. There was a lot of flaws in my project, for example the interview. We had an issue of who would come, when, where the interview would take place, and how we were going to record their answers but it all turned out okay. The person who ended up come was a friend of my mom so, I was less nervous. We where running out of time to have the interview, we had to set the date soon. We ended up making it less than a week after the thought of having it; that made the problem of where easier to. During the interview I was typing the answers on the iPad but I'm not the best speller or the fastest typer, so instead my mom typed on her computer while I asked the questions. This project didn't really change me or my family, we already were efferent. It did how ever, help me to understand what just Johnson Controls does and is all about. "Going green" is the biggest thing right now, everyone is going green and trying to help the earth. When someone becomes more efferent it doesn't just make an impact on their lives. My home is very efferent, as i explained before, we save money and we release less gas into the atmosphere.

Blog 5/7.... Video

I couldn't even began to think about living the way them do, fighting over who's land it is. When I go to a volleyball game I don't see anyone with guns on their laps. It's sad how they can't even have a peaceful game. I wouldn't want to live my life afraid of a bus I am on is going to explode like the twins where. Also I get to see my dad everyday and the little girl could go and see her dad in jail. I think the Jewish just kind of accepted the fact that it's everyone's but at the same time want to fight for their land. The Palestinian kids don't even their neighbors, they live right next to them. I think that the thought of who's land it is is the thing they think about, I feel like they don't have a choice. It sounded a lot little all the kids believe what the parents believe and that they can't really decide for their selfs. My life is very different from theirs, I wake up and drive to school and they are afraid of the people on the bus. I rarely study and they study everyday, by rocking back a forth.
