Friday

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I think that this message is terribly wrong.  i think children and teens need to use their imagination and explore to learn. People our age should not be expected to do so much work. it is good to do things like mow your lawn or help your single mother out with her 3 kids but also there should be time for sun and time for teens to be themselves and figure out who they really are. I know kids my age are still trying to figure out who they are and can get confused with all of the life changes going on. They need some time to relax and just think or listen to music or hang out with friends so they don't feel so alone in the world. i know sometimes i feel alone or i just want a break. That is when i call my friends over and they always bring out the best in my and help me know the person who i am. Teens can do chores for a little money to make an allowance an start to save up for a car or something important but they should not have to work quite as hard as adults with responsibilities and kids. If teens have a little freedom growing up then im sure they will become more responsible and smart in the future.  They need to figure things out for themselves while being who they are, they don't need a ton of responsibilities.

Blog Post of the Day:
What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?


A PSA is a public server announcement to the public from a group or the government about something important. Normally broadcasted over the TV or the radio. They are used if there is something important that people need to know or if there is a crisis that the public needs to be warned about.

Blog Post of the Day:
After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."


I thought he had a really good  speech  and  it gives people  hope (especially his fans). It was really nice and inspiring. He told everyone to "build a life not live one" that really meant a lot to me because I think it is important to take charge of your own life and not just follow along. He had a great speech and I really liked hearing it. It made me happy and fell better about myself and the world.
