Group pushes to protect children working on U.S. tobacco farms

20140529-212647.jpg

Children even young as seven years old work on a farm growing tobacco. And Senator Paul Hornback doesn’t do anything to stop it! The children say that that they hardly get any breaks, and always have to work in the sun.☀️ But that’s only half the story, the children in the tobacco farms have said that they get upset stomaches, headaches, and mostly vomiting. All Senator Paul Hornbck said about kids working on the farms was, that he dosent believe further restrictions are needed. “People get pretty extreme about trying to protect everybody from everything” Hornback said.

I think Senator Paul Hornback should get some more/ better protective gear for the kids so that they don’t get sick. Even better I think he should JUST NOT EVEN HAVE KIDS OF ANY AGE WORK IN TOBACCO FARMS!

Week 10

Ok so in our clas we are supposed to nominate a blog that we think is really good. I think http://tessam.global2.vic.edu.au is a really good blog because it looks like the person spent a lot of time on their blog. You could read the blogs very easy, and the posts were well written. I liked how this blog was also very funny! I really enjoyed reading these post.

Week:9 我想到中國去。

One of the many places I would like to visit is China. The reason I choose to visit China is because of the beautiful gardens and lakes. I would like to go there to dress like them, learn their language, and eat their food. I think it would be really cool to learn another language. And learn how to write another language.

There are also some places I would like to visit in China, such as The Great Wall of China. I think it is so cool that it is the only man-made thing that you can see from outer space. I would try to work my way up to the top, but to be honest I would probably pass out in less then 30mins walking up the Great Wall. That is one of the reasons I love like to visit China.

The lakes and gardens. Have you ever seen China’s gardens?! They are beautiful. I don’t know how they keep their plants looking so good. I get a flower and it only lasts for maybe a week . Their lakes are also really pretty. Their lakes have caves and waterfalls. These are all of the reasons why one day I would like to go to China.

My hobby

My hobby is water tubing. I like it when the water is splashing on my face. I also like it when I’m going really fast and I can’t hold on anymore and fall off. When I fall off, I go into the water. That’s my favorite part because I get to go swimming for a little. When I get back on the boat I like to hug people so that they can be really wet, too.

5 People I Look Up To.

The 5 people I look up to are, Jennnifer Lawerence, Rosa Parks, Gabby Douglas, Amelia Earheart, and Martin Luther King Jr. I look up to Jennifer Lawerence because I think she is very nice, has a great personality, and dose not care of what other people think about her. She always states her own opinion. I look up to Rosa Parks because she stood up for her rights! And she made a difference in the world. I also look up to Gabby Douglas because she followed her dream by winning in the Olimpics! I look up to Amelia Earheart because she showed everyone that women can do the same thing as men, and showed in by being the first women to fly a plane. Last I look up to Martin Luther King Jr. Because he stood up for freedom, and for everyone’s rights.

Week4: A Picture is Worth

Works around the world. 🚶🌎💁 If you have a $ that means that people can sell your work or make it for profit. If there is a = that means that you can make changes without asking the creators. You chose what you create and how it will be shared

Video

I liked this video. it was helpful. It helped me with the words that i needed to know! We learned about creative commons,copyright, simile and more. We learned that we can copy and paste things only if we ask the person who did the work. We cant copy and paste things if it has a copyright. A copyright is a law that means you cant take things without paying or just asking. If we do its called plagiarize.
