Here is one of the many different covers of The Westing Game!

Boy. Mrs. E informed us that the book has 296 pages. We also read

a short historical fiction story called “Janette’s Winter” written by

Barbara Bloom. The book is about a young girl named Janette who’s Pa {dad} and brothersare traveling to Oregon. Butwhen her family is

on the Oregon trail and stops in Montana for a rest, Her dad and

brothers get lost. Janett now has to live on her own! So she has to

live on her own in the trail, and battle to survive. My homeroom

didn’t get that far, but we are looking forward to see what’s gonna

happen. Unfortanly, we do have homework We have to complete

a worksheet!

One of the cities that the movie talked about was Agra. Agra is just like a regular Indian city, but then, their ground holds the Taj Mahal. Some people say the beautiful Taj Mahal is the biggest building built for love. The idea of the Taj Mahal was made up by Emperor Mumtaz Mahal. Mumtaz was so in love with his wife that when she died, he decided to built a Mausoleum in memory of her. {definition on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mausoleum}  I was really interested in the Taj Mahal, so I decided to do additional reasearch.  Did you know that the name Taj Mahal when translated means “Crown Palace” or “Crown of the Palace.”  Also some studies feel that the Taj Mahal is slowly sinking.  What a shame! I got my research information from here. {library.thinkquest.org/J0112263/dyk/funfact.html }

  Also in the movie, we learned about Karmas.  Do you know what a Karma is? A Karma is a hinduism belief.  The Karma goes something like this: “What you did yesterday affects today, but what you did today affects tomarrow.”  Personally, I think the Karma makes a lot of sence because I think what it really means is that in Life theres always a consequence after an action.

Latley in the movie, we learned about Delhi.  Delhi is known for all the hussle and bussle on thier streets.  But, the most populaur part of Delhi is thier Corbitt national Park!  Corbitt national Park is a popular place to see animals such as Elephants,Tigers, Leopards, and  Crocodiles.  Corbitt National Park gives free Elephant rides too!

So know you know about the wonderful India movie that I watched in Social Studies class.  Dont you think India is interesting or what?!

O.P.E.C stands for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries! Algeria ,Iran Indonesia, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Qatar, Nigeria, and Libya take part in O.P.E.C and control how much oil they let out for people to use. When there is a lot of oil, the price of oil is less expensive because there is more of it. But when there isn’t a lot of oil, the price is more expensive because a lot of people rely on oil because it is more valuable!

A lot of people want to find alternatives ways to not use oil as much. For example, my dad burns corn in something called a Qaudra-Fire pellet/corn burning stove. That helps our family heat or house with not using oil. IburnCorn has an interesting message board where people from all around the world can come and talk about ways not to use oils as much! Another oil free chose that people mask, is to drive Hybrids! Hybrids do use oil, but not as much as regular cars do!

I really like the article that Emma wrote and I hope that more people can read it and find out more about oil, and how much is left!

Below is an example of when to use context clues!
