Title: To Preserve History on the Moon, Visitors Are Asked to Tread Lightly

 

Author: Kenneth Chang

 

Source: The New York Times

 

The topic of the article is Preserving Moon History

 

The main idea of the article is: (implied/stated) The next generation of people visiting the moon might carelessly obliterate the site of one of humanity's greatest accomplishments, these designations were important first steps toward raising awareness of the need to protect off-world artifacts. (stated)

 

The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform the readers 

why it is important to keep the moon's most precious artifacts and monuments safe, like the steps of Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11 trips and more. 

 

The author’s perspective in this article is objective/subjective (biased) because 

 

The pattern of organization of the article is chronological order

 

The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because it talks about how Dr.O'Leary tried to get in touch with NASA so that way she could tell them about what they could do to help prevent history on the moon from getting destroyed. It started in 1999 when one of her students asked her whether federal preservation laws applied to the Apollo landing sites. And it still goes on today to help preserve the moon for any future visitors.

 

The text features included in the article are The title (which helps to find out what the main idea of the story and what the story could maybe about).

 

This article is about (a summary in your own words) archaeologists and historians trying to help and make sure people do not damage the moon in the future.

 

The significance (importance) of this article is that archaeologists and historians are trying to protect the moon from any damage, mostly on historical sites, artifacts, and the places where some of the greatest space missions landed.

 

What I learned from this article is that when people will start paying to go to the moon they might destroy/damage monumental sites, and so people have must be careful to not hurt anything of nature, especially one of humanity's greatest accomplishments.

 

What I liked about this article was that the author made sure to include details and understandable information.

 

What I did not like about it was that he didn't talk much about what they are doing now about it.

 

 

Who should read this article and why whoever is planning to go to the moon (like they'd have the money) should read this article so that way they know that they shouldn't damage any part of the moon. 

 

This article reminds me of 

 

(text-to-self)  This reminds me of the time when i went to a museum (science).

 

(text-to-text)  This reminds me of the my science fold able

 

(text-to-world) People want to fly to the moon now.

Blog #20

Dear my classmate,
Last week i read an informational book called the Jewish heroes.
It focused on all the people that made a difference in this world and that were Jewish.
For example they used Albert Einstein because he made new inventions and found out many new discoveries.
They also used Anne Frank she made girls think differently especially Jewish ones.
I think this really influenced on me because i am Jewish.
They also talked about their big mitzvot that they gave the world.
A mitzvah is when someone does something nice and correct they did a mitzvah.
Giving people this idea might make the people look at the heroes at a good angle or bad angle.
I would look at it at a good angle because i think it is cool that us Jews made a difference on the world this shows we are part of it.
I felt good and joyful when i read his book because i knew that part of me did something and those special people are part me.
I felt proud and it also contributed with Martin Luther King Junior and his dream that everyone will have rights this shows that anyone can do anything!!
I hoped you liked my RJ!
Love,
Dana

Blog #19 science fiction

Dear Tal, i read the book matched i really like this book.

I think it has a lot of details and imaginative thing that could happen in the future.

This part Cassia got to say goodbye to her grandfather.

She got closer to Xander.

One day when all the friends went out for a movie Ben went with them which made Cassia nervous.

This book really shows how girls might react if they were in her place.

When I saw that Cassia really paid attention to Ben i got scared that she would start to like him instead of Xander because I think they should be together.

In the movie it showed  some parts with people that dont belong in the society which made Ben mad and sad at tthe same time.

Only Cassia noticed this because she knew he didnt belong there. 

The whole time Cassia looked at Ben then Xander then Ben again and then Xander.

Until finally she let Ben go and gave attention only to Xander.

I hoped you liked my RJ.Its kind of late because when i did it my computer froze and i was half way done so i couldnt put it on my Blog on time Sorry!

Love Dana!

Dear Itay,
Last week i read Matched by Ally Condle.
I think its a really good book. So, i started from the middle because i read it but never finished. I still didnt finish because maybe its too challenging for me but its still a good book. From where i kept going Cassia had a mistake on her microcard so she spoke with an official. The official said the boy that was on her card by mistake was probably a cruel joke. Cassi knows this kid too she is scared because she wants xander as her match. the official gave her the real card and will take care of whoever did this. after the talk she found out ky was an initual which means he was adopted. Cassia was only going to tell her grandpa this because he wasnt going to live long he has only a little left. She went to her grandfather and told him the whole story. he was worried  but then calmed down. They had an emotional moment then she had to leave. it was almost cassias final banquet so she had to plan what to give her grandpa for his final gift. cassia had a really strong relationship with her grandfather and will really miss him she was thinking about a poem but made him a letter that included a poem cassia couldn't stop thinking about Ky's story. But she couldn't. In the game place while looking around all her tablets fell and opened up she had to speak with an official again.
i really like this book i think girls should read it but i just like writing to you itay so hope you enjoyed my rj. :)
love,

Dana

Title: A flight to Space, with travel insurance

Author: Kenneth Chang

Source: New York Times

The topic is going to space with travel insurance.

The main idea of article is NASAs project of taking people into space for a week visit.

The author’s purpose for writing this article is to inform people of the idea in 2013 to take people to space.

The Authors perspective in this article is subjective because he didn’t include his opinion and filled the article with facts.

The pattern of organization of the article is they said their idea and then explained how and when.

The reason the author chose this pattern for the article is because it let readers understand the perspective of the article.

The text features included in the article are there is no text features in the article they just put quotes.

This article is about how NASA wants to take normal people into space to visit in the year 2013. The said they will be able to take pictures, run around, do cartwheels and see many great sites while they are in space. The big idea is that they will be able to go protected- with travel insurance.

The significance of this article is that we will finally, after many years be able to take people into space without much of a risk because they will be going with insurance.

What I learned from this article is that astronauts have finally figured out a safe way to bring people like us into space and to have us go like it’s a normal flight, with travel insurance so there is much less of a risk.

What I liked about this article is that it talked about space because I really love learning and hearing new facts about space. I would love to one day go to outer space.

What I did not like about it is that going will be so much money, and my parents would never pay so much.

Who should read this article and why? I think Ms. Goldberg should read this article because she knows so much about space, and I’m sure she would love to one day visit it.

The article reminds me of science class because I learn a lot about space.
