    I think the publisher was right(defined as an intetion), because he was thinking of how the students would feel they saw the front cover of the newspaper. I don’t think he should be defines b y his actions, because he was trying o do the right thing by not publishing the newspaper.

What do you think? Go to the site below, read the page about it, and comment me back stating if he should be defined by his actions, or his intentions.

    I believe that a a person should be defined by their intentions, because even if someone’s actions were intentional, they most likely have a reason. This is an example:

    If a person broke into the grocery store but didn’t steal anything, and they were in a court of law and he told his intentions that he had for stealing, which was that he lost his job and his son was sick, so he had to steal a prescription from the store because he couldn’t pay for the medicine, would you define this as an action or an intention.

   Even though the intention turned into an action, it was still an intention because even though he did steal it, which was an action, he had a reason to do so , and that was to save his son by getting the medicine.                                                                                                                                                                                                       I believe a person should be defined by their intentions.

    In think the future will be related to how people live today, but some things wilol be different, but then again, you never really know. The people of today will never experience what the peopleof the future will have, like the people of the past never experinced the lifestyle we live. I have a feeling the future will be very different because scientists are always dicovering new things and trying to make products better. I think the future will be improved for the best for the people of the future, just like our world and lives are pretty good for us.  

   This week in our social studies class, we have been working on Nettleton Junior High School’s wiki. What we have been working on is a project called “It’s Electric,” which will result as a very big part of our final grade. What we have to do is answer questions that our teacher has made up for us. For example, some of the questions are ” who was the most important inventor in the 19th Century,” or ” How did electricity change the wat we made stuff? (Industry).” So we have to answer the qhestions we chose, and make them fun and enjoyable for the people looking, such as pasting pictures, making prezis, and putting up interesting videos.

    When I am having a test or quiz, my main way of studying is making flashcards so I remember what I need to. When I have to read passages that have information about what I need to know, sometimes I create pictures in my head. Also, I have this big whiteboard in my room, so I have these random questions about the things I am studying and need to know, so I write the answer on the board and say it out loud. Then I look on the back of my flashcard to see if I got the answer correct. I also have a tutor in math, and thanks to her I have been getting really good grades in that class that I probably wouldn’t have gotten of it wasn’t for her time and patience to help me.

    I love when it is Valentine’s Day, because it is a time toreally tell your girlfriend, boyfriend, mom, dad, husband, wife, sister, brother, or grandma and grandpa how much you love them and how much you are grateful for them. on Valentines Day,I usually get my family  gifts, like candy and cute stuffed animals, and I make them a really nice card describing how much them mean to me and how they are so special in my life. My sister usually does the same, my mom gives my dad a card, and my dad gets my mom a bouquet of roses. Me and my sister usually get a really cute card with money in it. Anyway, I really love Valentine’s Day because you could definitely feel the love in the air.

     This week in social studies class, we are talking live on with a class form Arkansas!!!!!!! We are working on electricity projects on theor wiki, and some of our pages are going to have prezis, great pictures, and presentations. We are answering questions, such as “Who invented the best invention in the 1900s?” or my question, “How did electricity change the way we make stuff?”   

     Article 1-
Napoleon and Luisiana-

France is under control by General Napoleon Bonaparte, who’s life goal is to rebuild France’s empire in North America. He is having Europeans wash out the Spanish popuation in Luisiana, but standing in his way is Saint Dominque from Haiti. Their is rebellion in the French colony, where enslaved Africans are rapidly gaining their freedom. Napolean wants to gain control of the island as a supply base. The French failed after attemting to capture St. Dominque, where L’Ouveture, a former slave, and troops won the battle. This is making it hard for Napoleon to send troops to Luisiana.

       Article 2-
Purchasing the Territory/Surprising Offer-

President Jefferson wants to keep the French from controlling New Orleans, so he is hoping that the U.S. will buy the port city from France. Jefferson told U.S. Ambassador to try and buy New Orleans and Florida from the French Government, but they said that without New Orleans, “the rest[of Luisiana]would be of little value” to France, so they offered the U.S. the whole lot of Luisiana! Napoleon said he did not want land that is unprotected, but that he would rather have money for supplied for his troops. The U.S. just bought the territory for 15 million dollars. Livingston thinks that “our country will be essentially served.”

          Article 3-
The Lewis and Clark Expedition/Preparations-

Before Jefferson was President, we knew he wanted to learn about the Mississippi River, American Indians, and see if there was a route that leads to to the Pacific Ocean, so he had beeen trying to send some explorers. Now he is President, and he convinced congress to give some money so his exploration can happen. His explorers are co-leaders, Lewis and Clark. They are set to go on their journey in May of 1804, from a spot near St. Lewis, but now they are studying intently to know all there is about survival, and getting ready for this epic adventure.

        Article 4-
 To Pacific and Back-

After Lewis and Clark crossed the Plains, they reached the Rocky Mountains and the snow was in their way to the Pacific, so a tribe provided horses so they could ride across the moutains. Sacagawea, an Indian they met along the way, helped them as a guide to travel safely. They just arrived home in St.Louis and everybody is cheering on their return, even though they did not find a river route, but they did find some scientific information, such as plants and animals from their Indian friends.
