Thoughts On Animal Testing

I think all animals should be treated the same, but some of them have different needs. They should be seen has having feelings because they do. But some of them need different need to survive. They should not be tested on him, they is very messed up. They don't have a choice on whether or not they want to be tested on. No they should not test on animals on at! They don't get a choice if they want to be tested on or not. If the drug that is being tested will for sure 100% work and not harm animals, they should test it, but also test it on humans because you don't know if the affect is different to animals than humans.

Mutation Blog Post

I learned that some mutations are harmful, but not all of them. I found that deletion is the most interesting, because it just disappears. I love sketchnoting because I love to draw. I would just wish to have more time, I want to do it faster. 

Science

     I'm Anthony Sanchez and I got Freedom Middle School, I'm in 8th grade. I love photography, art, and swimming. I love 8th grade so far, my favorite part was definitely Springfield! I love all the teachers too they are all so nice! I personal love biology, is so fun! It's so interesting to learn about.  And there is still so much to learn.

Literacy History

         I first learned my letters when I was in my house. My parents told me about the alphabet and showed what they looked like. No one ever read to me, but I always just looked in books without reading it. I loved it when someone read to me because I was always entertained. My first book I read on my own The Teacher From The Black Lagoon. I never really liked reading on my own because I could never get any words so I just got frustrated and left the book. Eventually I got better at reading because I read many series over and over again and learned many more words.  

          I first remembered writing my name from my parents. They would hold my hand and guided it to write my name. It made me feel weird because that was my first word to write. I felt very proud about learning to read and write because I knew how to communicate with other people. I felt very happy to go to school because I was going to learn more thing in school. 

Nightjohn Illiterate

       Living in a world where I am illiterate would be horrible. You wouldn't be able to text with anyone because you don't know how to spell. Reading wouldn't be easy either, you wouldn't be able to read any of the words on the page. You would also have to have someone with you all the time to help you read. Also, it would be really hard to get a job because no one really wants someone who can read or write. Even math would be hard because you can't understand the numbers. You also wouldn't be able to get a job that involves needed to know math. Finally Overall illiterate would be a horrible experience.  

Summary

 Branch Rickey, the president of the Dodgers is inspired to make a social experiment; to have an African American baseball player in a all white major league. His inspiration started when he was a coach for Ohio Wesleyan and had a black player named Charley, he was with the team when the team went to go stay at a hotel. The hotel manger did not allow Charley to stay, so instead Branch told the manger to put a cot in his room. Charley felt ashamed and heartbroken that he wanted to peel the skin off so that he would be white. The Branch told him, "the day will come when they won't have to be white." Many years later Branch Rickey became the president of the Dodgers and was looking for a way to have equality for blacks and whites in baseball. He was looking for black baseball player who was good enough not to fight back in a game if someone where to insult him. A reporter named Wendell Smith told Branch about a good baseball player named Jackie Robinson that was black. After that Branch began his investigation on Jackie. Jackie goes to meet Branch the next day. Branch was giving Jackie situations that might happen in a baseball game. Jackie passed the test and became part of Montreal Royals. 

Theme

     The conflict of The Night I Followed the Dog is about a boy that starts getting suspicious about his dogs where about's and one night follows him. Then after he starts spying on him, the dog keeps surprising the boy with things like his dog house look like a real home, he has a limo, and his dog owns a club for dogs. The theme of the story is that sometimes people are not what then seem to be.

Paper Reflection

        The writing process of the paper was very difficult. The way the organizer was planned was very confusing because having to separate the information into too many parts was very hard. I think I did very well with including all of my details in the paper. My goal is to work on my grammar skills in writing. Also my other goal is to include more transition words.
