What is the issue?

The issue is that the world is heating up because of the suns rays. So the earth uses it up and bounces back.  Also the heat tries to escape from the atmosphere and some escapes but not allot.

Who is involved?

The things that are involved are all living organisms, because the earth right now is at the very highest point it can be at and it cannot get any higher or else it will cause major tsunami’s and the animals will soon become endangered.

Who is affected and how?

Everyone and everything in the world right now is affected because the world is heating up rapidly and loads of things are being affected.

What do you think is a solution to this problem?

Well the greenhouse effect is pretty important but at this point it is heating up too fast.  So my solution is not to keep building greenhouses because right now the earth is at the very top line it can be at and we still need greenhouses but not as many as people want to.

Today in class we watched a movie all about Rome.  This movie talked about a lot of things but I will only talk about some.

Roman women did work but they were prostitutes!  Even if the roman women were married the only job they could do was be a prostitute.  Women also had to take care of the children and do household work.

The Roman gladiators were like what we would call an army these days.  But instead of fighting against something like the army’s do today, they would fight for something.  So the gladiators would fight for land against another city or country.  To become a gladiator you had to go to school and work to become a gladiator, you didn’t just have your spots handed to you.  The Roman gladiators built the Hadrians Wall because they had not been to battle for a very long time, so the head of the gladiators made them build it to keep them busy.

That is all I am going to tell you about the movie now!

To me I think that social studies and history can be sometimes fun, sometimes interesting and sometimes boring.  I think this because I only like doing stuff when I actually understand what i am doing, then it can be kind of interesting.  I especially like social studies when it is fun because when we were doing a greek play that was allot of fun for me and i got a really good grade!  Then it can be boring.  I think sometimes it can be boring because you might not understand and also you say to yourself “why do we need to learn this stuff?”.  The first thing that comes to my mind when i think about social studies is BORING, but sometimes when I get to class and I am with my friends and learning it can be a lot of fun and interesting at the same time.

 The reason I didn’t mention about history is that I have never had to take history; I have always took social studies.

This is a social studies picture!
