Voltaire

Picture From Here
Voltaire was a writer who believed in freedom and said,“I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” What I think he meant when he said that is that even though he doesn't agree with what you are saying, you have a right to say it and no one can take that from you. Basically he is repeating part of the first amendment.

Things That Annoy Me

Picture From Here
The first thing that annoys me are shoes!

NEGATIVE=Everytime you grow, the shoes don't fit. If it rains, the shoes absorb the water and make your feet wet. If they rip, rocks get into your shoe. They sometimes give you athlete's foot.

POSITIVE=They protect your feet.

The second thing that annoys me is the sound a straw makes when the cup is almost empty.

NEGATIVE=It drives me insane! It hurts my brain! Even when the container is empty, it still makes that sound!

POSITIVE= It tells you its time to get a new drink.

The third thing that annoys me are spiders!

NEGATIVE=Some are poisonous, most bite, and all look scary.

POSITIVE=They eat flies and other bugs.

The fourth thing that annoys me is static electricity!

NEGATIVE=It scares me when it happens. It makes the part that got shocked itch.

POSITIVE=It shocks the other person too.

The fifth thing that annoys me are nosy people!

NEGATIVE=They want to know everything that happened and tell a lot of people about it.

POSITIVE=You can find out stuff easily.

BR: Last Bell Ringer

On the last bell ringer I used Blogger. I chose this program because I'm not used to all of the others, except PowerPoint. I enjoyed getting to choose what I was allowed to work on. It was more fun being able to choose what I got to work. I honestly wouldn't have changed anything about it. It was very interesting.

The Making Of The Declaration Of Independence



The  first draft of the Declaration Of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson. It was edited by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and one other. It was then signed by everyone in the Continental Congress starting with John Hancock who signed his name the largest. The Declaration Of Independence was finally mailed to King George III as a "break-up" letter.
