Dell's Literacy Narrative

This week I have had the opportunity to listen to some amazing literacy narratives. I have listened to Dell, Nathan, Paul, Mary-Beth, and Wayne's (at tutorial). The one literacy narrative that I can't get out of my head is Dell Portwood's. Dell's was amazing considering the fact that he has dyslexia. Even though Dell has dyslexia his paper was better than mine, he had little grammatical errors and had I could tell had very little trouble writing his paper. To me writing about his thoughts towards having dyslexia are extremely outstanding. 

       Dell is a bra person because he has the braveness to tell everybody about him having dyslexia. If I had dyslexia I probably wouldn’t tell anybody that I have it because to me I just don’t want people to know that I have it.

       Good Job Dell and keep up the good work of trying to overcome having dyslexia!

E book

       My thoughts about making an e book are pretty excited. I haven't made an e-book before and I don't really know what to expect. I don't now if I should come into class relaxed about the idea or start getting frustrated at it. Also the main reason that i am so excited about it is because the whole class teams up and makes 1 e-book. This is good because you have everybody's thoughts put together into a book.
       
       Even though we haven't started our E books yet, I can't wait to make mine look amazing . On my e-book i want to make it stand out from everybody else's  to make that happen I am going to do a different font. For example, maybe like trebuchet, or mikes. Just to make the paper stand out more than other people's. I probably won't put pictures on it because to me a book doesn't need pictures unless it is a picture book.  Maybe I can even include a huge header for my paper. All these ideas are filling my head, and I am more than excited to start designing block 4's e-book

Response to Both of the Martin Luther King Jr. Videos

I watched all 17:29 seconds of the First video

Then I watched all 9 mins on the second video.

I think that Martin Luther King Jr. was a brave man and that God sent him to do the specific tasks of stopping segregation. Also I think that he is one of the most bravest people to ever step foot on this planet.

Reading Response to Edge of Apocalypse

          In the past 4 chapters in was mainly the introduction to the book. It was describing the characters and what each of their roles were. But now in chapter 6 in is getting way more intense with the scientists building nuclear weapons and then people stealing the weapons trying to destroy the world, but the scientist and other military persons are stopping the thief's to defend the world. Then in Chapter 7 the plane that was carrying the nuclear weapons crashed and now the world is devastated because there will be no more lives left on Earth unless people find out a way to make a chemical that will destroy the nuclear gas.
