I just read an article called King of Pop may reunite with Jackson 5 in the Denver Post and it spoke about Michal Jackson joining up again with the other Jackson 4 who were also his brothers. They will reunite for a tour and its not definate but there is word of its happenings. The last tour they had together was in 1984 for their Victory album.

This relates to me because i like some of the old Jackson 5 songs but not so much the " new" MJ. I think that it might be cool to see them all together and see if they lost their touch. Michal is a great dancer and singer. Nevertheless this tour might not work because of all the people that dislike MJ. If it works out great the other brothers will get paid and maybe do the tour once or twice more.

This relates to the world becuase there are so many people that are into Michal Jackson and the Jackson 5. I think people will be pleased to here about this tour around the world. And even if they cant get tickets they will watch on TV. Michal is so popular from being in the Jackson 5 and hits like thriller that everyone knows who he is. Also people know him for being kind of unique you could say.

This tour will be interesting and I am happy for the ones that will go but I think im going to pass and this concert.

I recently read an article called Graffiti cameras on patrol and it talked about a new system where there are hidden cameras around Denver to catch taggers who draw graffiti on buildings and other public places. This is an illegal act therefore the city is trying to stop it. These cameras also could pick up people doing other illegal things so they actually have many purposes and it was only meant to catch taggers.
This relates to me because I used to see graffiti all the time back in NY and I always wounded when the city was going to try and stop it. I also knew people that did graffiti and they never got caught because the systems were bad and no one cared enough to change it. I’m glad this camera’s are up because the city of Denver is a nice place and it would be even nicer without all the taggers and criminals.
This relates to the world because taggers are everywhere and so are criminals. Most cities try and stop it but others don’t. Nevertheless I think that every city in the world should at least try to stop taggers because they just make beautiful cities ugly and full of foul words and pictures.

I recently read an article called More than half of Colorado teen driver’s text message and it talked about how student drivers text message while they are driving.” Fifty-one percent of Colorado teen drivers admitted to text messaging and 66 percent said they used their cell phones while driving, according to results of a survey released today”. This is not ok and people should do something about it. In schools they should talk about how it’s not safe to use your phone while driving because it could lead to a severe accident or death.

This relates to me because in two years I will be driving and I know for a fact I won’t be using my phone and if I am it will be through a wireless set up. That’s what I think is strange is that people took the time to make these wireless set ups and people, especially teens don’t get them and then they get into accidents. This goes along with the remember club in my school I think also. Buckling your seatbelt is very important just like not using a phone while driving is dangerous. It’s a distraction and I’m glad people are pulled over for it because they are making the roads an unsafe place.

This relates to the world because everyone uses there phone or does something while driving. Congratulations if you don’t and those people are making the roads safer but for all the people that put on make up and maybe read or in this case use their phone, you are making the roads an unsafe place to be. I think we as a country and world should do something about multi-tasking while driving because it’s becoming a problem.

Reflection

I think I did an Ok job on my presentation. I spoke as clear as i could and looked up as much as possible without getting lost in what I was trying to get out. You were right when you said I need to proof read and if you read my PLN 18 you could see that

I recently read an article called Women face new charges in death of 3-year-old and it talked about a mother and her room mate getting charged for murder of the 22 year old mother’s 3 year old daughter. The baby was brought to the hospital only weighing 22 pounds and was suffering from dehydration. They starved this baby almost until her death. She later died in the hospital after the doctors tried everything to make her better.

This relates to me because I have a 4 year old sister and I cant even imagine what I would do if someone hurt her especially my own mother. But first of all that wouldn’t happen but it has happen to others around the world.

This relates to the world because on TV there are stories of children being shook or staved or being abused in sick, crazy ways all the time. I think people should try to stop this because babies are people too and a life is a life.

I recently read an article called Teen guilty of torturing autistic boys tortoise and it talked about a 18 year old boy that went into a back yard and grabbed a tortoise. He cut the arms and legs of it and then slit its throught and through it agianst the brick wall. The kid was only 7 and he has autism, his first words spoken were to the tortoise and now hes afriad the same thing is going to happen to him. The man was aqused of hurting animals in the past so to go along with his 160 days in jail he has to give up his iguana, dog and snake. He wrote letters to the family apolligizing but i dont think its enough.

I think that 160 days in jail is not enough. He tortured an autistic boys tortoise. He doesnt even know the kid and the toroise didnt bite him or anything. He went into the yard on his own and hurt it just becuase it was fun for him maybe in a sick way. People like this should go to jail for maybe 2 years and never be let alone around animals. This is a sad story.

This relates to me becuase I have heard of thing like this and they always get away with just a little jail time and the same thing happens. I dont get why they dont get into more trouble. Its crazy to then see these people back on the street and the same thing will probebly happen unless they change or get beat up in jail becuase im sure people in jail like kids and animals and having a man almost kill an autistic kids animal would not be something the other jail mates would like.

This relates to the world becuase I have read of and even seen on TV of people in Mexico, Spain, and other parts of America harming animals in cruel ways and I dont think its good. The thing they do to animals might be a little worse but i have never heard of someone going into a yard of someone they dont know and hurting an animal for no reason. This guy must have problems.

I recently read an article called Why Wireless by Carl Fisch and it talked about having a wireless set up in the library for personaly owned devices like lap tops for students teachers and even parents to use. I think this is a great idea and that this will push people to use technoligy more and have freedom to do so.

This relates to me becuase i go to this school and I havent used this yet but plan to maybe use it in the futrue becuase I do have my own lap top and to have it in school might be prity cool. Although I wouldnt really want to bring it in becuase loosing it would be bad I might try it one day. For all my other more technoligy inclined peers they are going to love this ne set up in the library and will probebly use it as much as possible.

This relates to the world becuase others schools use this too. The high school I was going to go to had wireless personal set ups in their library also. Im sure that other countrys do the same as well and if they dont maybe they should look into it becuase it would help them out and they can become one of those technoligy structured schools just like AHS.
