11 February 2013 7th Hour Technology Warmup

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.

Example of Format:

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.

      This article was interesting. I watched the Grammys last night and her performance was spectacular! Her dress was definitely something new, but it was really cool and entertaining. Now that I know the whole story about why she wore it, it's just really cool.

    I think this is a very interesting article. the ground looks like a dried up river and how the dirt dries and cracks. The dirt may also look like that from the gas escaping from the ground and it pushes the ground like that.

    I found this artical about A 58-year-old Texas man was allowed to walk free Monday after spending half his life behind bars for a crime he didn't commit -- the repeated stabbing of a woman whose body was found on a dirt road in rural North Texas.

    I like this article because South Carolina is my favorite CFB team. A lot of the players that got invited to the NFL combine are my favorite players. My favorite player, he got invited. David Clowney. One of my other favorites, Marcus Latimore got invited too, But he is still in rehab for his serious knee injury. He hasn't been able to play all season.

    This interesting thing is the 7th straight game the Denver Nuggets have won. The game was against Milwaukee Bucks (112-104). This was interesting because this the longest streak they have ever had.
    My partner and i are doing a power point. The reason why we are doing this is that we can get creative with it and have fun with it.

    I found this article interesting. It's sad that they would abandon him for this reason. I think it's a stupid reason to kick him out.
