1. What is the best thing about living where you live?
The best thing about where I live is that it is a very nice and safe town, with a low rate of crime. There is always something to do too. We have a couple of parks and a community pool too. That is why it’s a good place to live.

2.Tell us why your school is unique?
My school is definitely unique. We are one of the few schools in America that still had a wood-working class and a clock-making class. I think it is the last year for it though, which is unfortunate to future students because I liked those classes. Also, we use technology frequently in classes like metal class and especially in Social Studies. That is what is unique about our school.

I think this video is very funny. It shows what people might have done a long time ago, when they had new technology. It's like when we got computers, because many people didn't know how to use them. It's showing how through the years, people didn't understand newer technology, and that it is still happening today. It is based on a long time ago when people got books and thought of them as a great technology, and they didn't understand anything about them. Then when computers were invented people thought of them in the same way, and didn't understand how to use them. Way back then, they could've treated books and learning how to use them in the same way we treated computers when we first invented them. It's almost mocking us, when we recieved that new technology.

Global Warming:

Global warming is caused by two things, man made and natural causes. Man-made causes include pollution and burning fossil fuels which leads to pollution. Fossil fuels give off c02 when they’re burned, and co2 is a green house gas. Population is also a big factor, because the more people there are, the more transportation is needed, which means more pollution. We breath out c02, and trees take our co2 in, but since we’re cutting trees down and not replacing them, the co2 is being released and there are less trees to take it in.

The natural effects are arctic tundra and wetlands releasing methane. Since methane is a greenhouse gas, and it traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Also earth has about a climate change that usually lasts about 40,000 years.

If we replant trees after cutting them down we would have a lot less co2, and we would e helping save our planet. If people try to use as little transportation involving methane as possible, that would also help our planet. We are not only hurting ourselves, but we are hurting the cold climate areas, and are causing everything to melt. If people realized this, our planet would be much better.
