Find a news website that provides international news.  Identify and read a story that you find interesting.  As your warmup, post a link to the news article and describe it in three complete sentences.  Make sure that you are using the correct warmup format.  Any warmup that does not use the correct format will not receive points today.  When you complete your warmup, you need to begin working on last Thursday's assignment immediately.  The assignment is due 35 minutes after the beginning of class.  The instructions for this project can be found in your classes' folder in Miss. Holmberg's Odin file.

I found the article about the space rover Observation drilling on the surface of Mars very interesting.  The rock appears to show signs of a wet environment.  If the environment on Mars was different at one point in time it is possible that the planet could have supported life.

    I don't think that teachers should be allowed to carry concealed weapons.If a new teacher has a gun he can be crazy and shoot every one.It is not right because that is just showing a worse example of guns to kids.

    I have found an article about Pope Benedict XVI resigning at the end of the month. He says he will resign because of "advance of age", the first time a pope has resigned in 600 years. That is a long time.

    I wish they would do this at our school. I think that only because if a crazy person busts into the school the principal... can shoot him.

    I find this interesting because boats are cool. I also find it interesting because it had to run off emergency power. Five people died and three people were injured because a boat fell.

    I have no idea who Celly Clarkson is, or why she got a Grammy Award.
    But I DO think it's interesting that she was so emotional about it.
    Because of her reaction, I think she really deserved it.

    Such as Seventh-Day Adventism, and strongly rejected shamanism were much less likely to eat tapir, because their new religion made doing so taboo, the researchers found in their survey of 9,900 individuals in the Amazon.

    i don't think its fair because the teachers might go crazy.
    And because i think kids should bring wepons to school for self defence .And also because if the persons by them they could shoot them.

    I think story is very different. It is the first the pope has resigned in 600 years. That is why I think it is cool.
