Week four!!!!!!!!!!!! Breanne,Drew,Amanda

1. What influenced Jordan in his goal to climb the Seven Summits? Which influences came from outside Jordan? Which ones came from within Jordan?
He saw a poster in school that influenced him to want to climb the seven summits. His dad was the influence that came from the outside of Jordan and made him believe that it was possible.  The influence that came from within side of Jordan was that this is something that he wanted to do because no one ever accomplished it.
 2. What challenges did Team Jordan face during the final climb to Everest’s summit? There came a avalanche and Jordan slipped and the spikes that were on his boot stabbed his dad in the leg.  The avalanche barely missed them but to climbers that were farther down weren’t as lucky one died one was injured.  They were tired and out of breath and they were climbing 14 hours.
3.The author includes several examples of climbers who died on the mountain. Why do you think he does this? To give a example of how dangerous this climb really is and if you attempt it can cause death, that many have tried few have succeeded.
 4. Some have criticized Team Jordan for putting a young person at risk. Do you think a 13-year-old is too young for such a dangerous feat? No I don’t he is old enough to make his choice and his parents were right by him for support and help.
5. What was most important to Jordan about climbing the mountain? What can others take away from Jordan’s experience?  The fact that Jordan is the only thirteen-year-old who has ever climbed the seven summits. Others can learn that even though things are hard and terrible he still pushed through.

Week 3. Kelly Smith.

#2:  Persuade your classmates to read (or not read) the book you are reading for recreation.  Give specific examples of what makes it a good read (or not).
      I think you should read my book, The Wedding, if you like love stories like i do. He talks about how much he loves his wife but he knows they are falling out of love and he needs to fix it, but he's not sure how to fix his marriage of 30 years. He is trying to find ways to rekindle their love and marriage.

#3:  Identify 2 or 3 possible topics for class discussion using this blog.
      I think we should all discuss rather we all think blogging and commenting is a mature thing to do in school. Personally i think it's immature and that they should not teach you to blog in school, its different if you have to do something like that for you career, not in school.

Week 3 questions. Kelly Smith

A)   Both girls showed incredible bravery in the face of their abuse. Explain/Compare/Contrast how both girls reacted to their ordeals.
                  I think they handled their ordeals really well because they didn't give up. They kept going to school and showed the whites, and the men that they are the same and deserved to be in school just like them.

B)   How would you have handled the situation? Describe a situation in which you displayed courage.
            I don't think i would have handled it as good as they did. I think I would have gave up. I don't think i have been in a situation that i needed to show courage.

Week Two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Breanne Lund

Question 1:  Last week, you read an article about Aliens in the Scope Magazine.  Some of you believe aliens exist, some of you aren't sure, and some of you don't believe this.  How would you go about proving they exist or not?
