AoW Impressions for 3/2-3/6

    I was actually surprised in our most recent AoW gallery walk, the topics of these articles were all very different. The topic I choose was completely different than my last two articles which were about immigration, but this time I choose to do ISIS. This is the most-talked about thing in the world currently because this terrorist group has had a huge negative impact on almost every nation. The only difficult detail about this gallery walk was the wide selection of articles. It was almost like a food tasting a little bit of everything. The only theme I did notice is that most of the articles took place in the United States, and in some places in the Middle East.  The number one topic is again ISIS, but the difference is that only about four articles were about this terrorist group compared to the twenty articles from last week. The thing I found great about this week's gallery walk was that I could easily connect to about 50% of my peer's articles. The speech made by Prime Minister Netanyahu against the nuclear Iranian program, previous to the gallery walk I learned a lot about this topic in my social studies class. This first few articles were interesting to learn about.



    The other most talked about news topic was Ebola and I was bit surprised since it hasn’t been that huge in the news lately. I think about two people from my class choose to do their article on this disease, and I’m happy to say that I’m not that scared anymore. My peers Diego and Nadrian mentioned that more patients have been saved from Ebola and they are currently testing out a vaccine that will hopefully work in the future. I’m actually they brought up this topic because now it can show the world that we should not worry anymore, for a cure has been found. After reviewing my gallery walk sheet I noticed that disease was the second most talked about topic. The articles talked about of course Ebola, deadly bacteria, and cystic fibrosis. The deadly bacteria article that Autumn choose was very interesting because another deadly disease which was Ebola was recently cured. Is it possible that this deadly bacteria will have an impact on the world, such as Ebola? The other topics discussed were North Korea, social media suicides, first lagoon power plant, and a sunken Japanese WWII was found. I found all these articles quite surprising such as the suicide article by Athziry, which explains how social media has led to many suicides committed by teens. The North Korea article by Gustavo was a bit shocking since a US ambassador was knifed in this country. The sunken WWII ship was very interesting since it was the biggest warship in the world during the time and it just seems amazing that the co-founder of Microsoft discovered it. The last article by Gabe which was about the first lagoon power plant, I found interesting because it shows how we are coming closer to ending pollution. This week I did enjoy the gallery walk filled with numerous interesting news topics.

This week I will comment on Stanley, Carlos, and Autumn's Blogs.
