Finish this sentence "10 years from now I will be...." (explain)

Ten years from now I will be 26 years old and playing baseball for the Kansas City Royals Baseball Club I hope its in the Major Leagues.

I always hoped that one day I will play in the Major Leagues because baseball is what I'm passionate about even at a young age. The one thing that I do have a advantage on is the hard work and the right people around me.

Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.


Two different perspectives on Antarctica is a good side, and a side who doesn't care. The good side is the scientists that are doing research to discover why the Pole is melting and how we can stop the Ice Caps from melting and saving the Polar Bears from extinction in about seventy-five years. The other side who don't care is the people who don't care about any global issue they just want to carry out their lives without hearing about this useless information, but it isn't useless its actually trying to save the earth for generations to come.

There are people that agree with my global issue topic, because there are people who care for the environment and do care to what happens to each animal on the planet if its fish, polar bears, bald eagles etc. Then there is another side where they will poach the animals for something that is valued as something on the black market that is illegal to do like hunting elephants for its tusks.

This topic will cause controversy later on when the ice caps really begin to fall apart, right now we are doing research to look at what is going on with the poles.

Antarctica: Climate Change

1. Without doing any research, what background do you currently have on this issue? 
2. What do you want to know about this issue?
3. Why did you choose this issue? Had it effected your life? Is it something you are passionate about? Explain.

1. The background on the topic that is the title of the blog post is that the Ice Caps in Antarctica are melting due to climate change and global warming which could or will affect the polar bears living in that region of the earth.

2. I want to know about this issue is how can we stop Antarctica from melting and how can we save the polar bears without disturbing any more of their melting land. Also I want to know why is it melting? Is it from Global Warming or just climate change? Or a Hole in the Ozone layer? Who Knows? 

3. I choose this issue because people need to realize that global warming is killing animals like the polar bears and melting the ice which could over run low sea level areas like Florida and the coast of  Louisiana. Its something I'm passionate about because of what animals mean to me because I love animals no matter what kind or how they look (Except snakes and spiders) If I can inform people on what kind of consequences could happen if we continued to act the way we act or increase what we are doing so badly at then this earth could be or will be different, but it only happens with your help.

Last week I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

The reason you asked us to do that is because you already know that we can bullet and list things because we did it in our Who Am I Project earlier in the semester. The point for it is so we can explore Google Slides and use it for many different purposes than just listing things in a power point.  If we used bullets and headers for everything what kind of presentation would that be? A sleeping one for sure.

Kids these days are flying around on their hover-board thingy's, they are just a mess crashing into everything around them and everyone. The police has to come into my neighborhood like fifty times a day just because of kids speeding down the road on their hover craft. Every time I go out for a little walk I almost get run over by some whipper snapper that is ten years old thinking that hes MJ from the 1980's and 90's and running into things or trying to hover in the air for one second and crash right into a house or into a pile of something. Kids these days need to have something on them to keep them from going into things or someone.

What is a public service announcement (PSA)? What do PSA's do? What makes a good PSA? How can you get someone to take action after watching a PSA?  What is you PSA idea? Explain in detail.

A PSA is a public service announcement where someone chooses a topic about something wrong in our world like smoking, texting and driving, drinking and driving and much more. Once a topic is chosen then they will make a 5 slide animation without clicking so it can be a actual video. PSA's need some kind of emotion to where people are willing to take action with you and help out anyone who does this. My PSA idea is the Seat Belt Law. Not many people who don't wear seat belts will not survive car crash's because they are ejected from their vehicle.

On Saturday I didnt do much except for playing video games all day to reach the playoffs with the magic -_- which did happen. On Sunday was my birthday so I had to go to pitching practice then once i got home we had my family over so we could talk for maybe one hour or so because of my rec basketball game at 4:30pm. Then on Monday all I did was play more video games and was locked in a battle with the Hawks in a 3-3 tie. And then I was able to go to the KU game at Allen FeildHouse

What are your thoughts on this class so far? Easy? Hard? Informative? Frustrating? What have you learned so far? What do you want to learn? Explain yourself.

When I came in on the first day of class it looked like it would be a easy class, and it still is as of today, but when we get more in depth to our stuff it might get a little bit difficult to do certain things with our projects, but if you just listen in class then this might be the easiest class you will ever take in your school career except in the pre-school or the elementary school level.

Tell me about your weekend. What did you do? Upload a photo to your Google Drive and then insert the photo (or photos!) to your blog post to show me what all you did.

All I really did over the weekend was play video games for about half of the time, but when I did play video games it was NBA 2k15 on the PS3, with my friends that play the game. On Sunday I was with my grandma for most of the day Sunday just to help her with things around the house and to cheer her up a little.

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

Most teenagers do have to do the dirty chores in the house, but its preparing them for what lies ahead in the future and what to expect when they are a adult in the real world. I agree with the statements because of the way they were said, but I supported teens to go home and do those things that no one wants to do, because they don't have the time or they are stressed out because of other reasons.
