        We should have a class where we take care of animals. Everyday the students are taught how to take care of various types of small animals. Some may say it's easy to take care of animals, but they probably don't know how to take care of them properly. It would be an end of the day class. The students midterm grade would be to take a pet home for the weekend and take care for them like it was their own. 

        When you walk in the class you would see small animals in tanks or cages, depending what size they were. The classroom would be neat and organized because the animals need a clean environment. The students will also be able to take care of the animals in class whenever they're able too. They would sometimes be put into groups and the teacher will test their skills if they're capable of caring for them.

        Over the break I went to my friend's house for a bonfire and sleepover. We had pizza and drinks. I went to the football game Saturday , the opposite team won by one point. I did absolutely nothing on Thursday, I was home alone with no plans. Ash Gareffa decided not to invite me anywhere because she forgot about me. 

    

  

      Saturday night I went to Applebee's with my friends. Afterwards we were hanging in the car, we were listening to Adele, it was pretty emotional. On Sunday I went to Medieval Times with my cousins for his birthday. He was dressed up as a knight with his brothers. Last night I decided I wanted to watch a movie on Netflix, but I wasn't able to find one.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

        I decided to take medical terminology this year. Mr. Mann is teaching that class. I assumed we would learn about anything that has to do with medical, the names of all illnesses, how sickness can be cured, etc. Within the these two weeks we have learned prefixes, suffixes, connecting word or vowel, and the root word for various medical terms. These words are made up in Greek and Latin. Some words have the same meaning, but use different context. Click Here to see the text book.



                               

        What's so interesting about medical terminology is learning the Latin and Greek word of that term. Technology is used in that class because we use systems to test patients if there's something wrong with them or not.  For example MRI's, cat scans, etc.

                                               
        All we've talked about is different terms, and we have taken a quiz to see if we memorized the prefixes and suffixes of that term. Later on we started learning new words, we fill out packets by looking in the text book as a guide. Click Here to watch a video about medical terminology.
