Boston Tea party learning meathods review


I think that the story of Johnny Tremain worked much better than the videos because we can follow along while being read to us and we get it two times better. With the video, we could goof off and talk more.With the book Johnny Tremain we got to read a story for a while and keep track of what is happening without jumping through different points of views. With the text book, it just isn't a very interesting way of learning but if you have it read to you than you can kind of relax a little and just follow along.
Things I learned that were interesting were that when the Tea Party happened, it wasn't a Tea Party,20 men dressed up as Indians and talked like indians and then threw all the tea overboard.In the textbook it didn't even mention any of this.

The book Johnny Tremain helped me learn about the Intolerable Acts the most because i liked the book and it caught my attention the most. I think that the book really spoke to me and that helped me understand what it was saying.

The Dog House





At the dog house in Langley i feel a strong breeze of wind carrying the salty smell of the rough Puget Sound water. I see the bright sun breaking itself out of the prison of dark clouds that it was trapped in. I see hawks scanning the water for their next meal as the wind sails across its surface.
At the dog house i can hear waves crashing into the beach bellow us. I can hear the wind whispering into my ears.

Siberian tiger


The Siberian tiger is a very dangerous and rare animal that lives in Siberia.
It has a similar cousin, the lion that lives in africa. This animal takes lots of time hunting down its prey.

The Siberian tiger is a very large and very colorful animal. It is red orange black
and white. these variety of colors help it blend into its environment. This animal has very sharp and dangerous claws which is one way that it hunts and kills its prey, it
also uses its teeth.

This lethal tiger lives in Siberia and it has adapted to its environment quite well.
it can blend in with its surrounding fooling any mammal that it wants including humans. It can kill things almost 2 times bigger than it.

The siberian tiger is going extinked because of its beautiful and expensive fur.
Many natives have made stories about this animal because it has been know to attack humans.

So overall the Siberian tiger is a very colorful animal that lives in Siberia,likes to eat mammals,has very sharp claws, and is very,very dangerous. I chose this animal because of its background and its skills.
