1) what advice would you give to a particular character. why?

Since Melinda does not have anyone to talk to because her friends are acting weird by not talking to her for no reason I think Melinda should try new friends and get over her old friends and may try to talk to her friends and see what she did wrong or why are not talking to her.

2) Which character would you like ( or not like) to be your friend? why?

I think I would like to be Melinda's friends because she seem really friendly to me and I think she could understand me and I could feel good when I talk to her about my personal life or other stuff.

3) How did what you read make you feel? why?

When  I first read the Melinda's friends were not talking to her even her " best friend" I feel like I would pretty much be really mad at my friends for not wanting to talk to me for no reason and I also keep wondering why were they not talking to her.

4) What does this book remind you of in your life? why?

These book reminds me of one of my friends who meat someone else and decided not to talk to one of my friends just because her new friend does not like her. I think is stupid that my friend decided not to talk to my other friend just because she meat on other friend. They were like best friends until the other person had to came I think is stupid that my friend made that decision because it can't really hurt someones feelings when your best friend replaces you.

Project Reflection

Group name: Global Warnings  Group members: Kimberly, Kezia, Luis, Gabe, Justin and Ramon. Topic: Global Warming and Pollution.

The purpose of this project was to create a formal website with information where  other kids could learn from. To learn about a topic that we the group had chose for example we decided to talk about Global Warming.

In order to learn about Global warming and create a formal website where other kids could learn from we had to research on Global warming, Pollution and some animals that were affected by pollution. My group and I decided to research on Seals, Penguins, Sea Turtles and Coral Reef's. We all had a topic to research on for example I had Seals so I had to research on Seals and different types of seals. We had to make all the information we found in other websites in our own words and put the links from where we got our information in our website. We were also require to create our own website with all the information we had learned and create our own pictures, videos or games.

I learned about Seals and how they are affected by pollution. I learn about Harbor Seals, Neopard Elephant Seals, How Seals are affected by pollution, what we can do to hope them, how to create a formal website and about leopard seals.

In these project i learned how to pharagrase information, how to used dream weaver better and how to create a frame.

Reflection 

I enjoy this project because It was really interesting learning how our world is affected by pollution and about different types of Seals, But even do I really like these project I think I could have done a lot better because I was not focused most of the time and I didn't used my time how Ms I wanted me to.

next time I think I would try to find a lot more information on my topic and used my time and not waste it by talking to my friends or working on stuff that was not necessary in the website.
