Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and Secondary Source

Primary and secondary sources are almost the same but different.   This is what I have learnt from Secondary sources. 

Primary sources is the original source of information.  It could be a diary,  manuscript,  recording,  etc.  Primary sources is usually is more important the Secondary sources.

Secondary sources is the after story.  It's what happens after what you have already heard from the Primary sources.  Secondary gets the information from the primary sources,  A book,  textbook,  website, etc.

Becoming A Martin

Question 1:  When can a mission to Mars ( or from Mars ) Happen ? Why ?  

Every 26 months

Question 2:  What are two geological features of Mars ?

Mars is very dry and Mars is also red

Question 3:  What is one possible solution from the story about oxygen on Mars ?

On Mars,  the atmosphere is 95 %  carbon dioxide.  Breathing this would mean certain death because the carbon dioxide would replace the oxygen in your red blood sells.  You would last around 2 minutes.

Question 4:  If it doesn't rain on Mars,  Where does the water come from ?

Water is found as ice in the polar ice caps,  but these ice caps are covered in a thick layer of frozen carbon dioxide.

Question 5:  How will people get food on Mars ?  What is a possible solution ? 

If settlers brought their own food,  it would need to last for 26 months until the next supply rocket arrives.  Martian crops could also be grown in special nutrient-rich water.

Tapa Art

Tapa Art

I like that I did it on paper because the charcoal broke less and it looks really good.  I only did it on paper because I am new to the class so I didn't have time to do another one.  

Next time I would do it on black paper because it looks better.  I would have used white inc with it.  For the tapa art I used normal white paper and red inc.  I used some charcoal on the black lines to make it look nicer. 

I started weeks later and mine looks okay.  Next time we do art I will be shading some of the red parts on my art work.  I did a lighter to darker theme on my work.  

The Paper Boy

The Paper Boy

The Paperboy is a really good book by Vince Vawter.  In this book a young boy who has a stuttering problem.  He takes over his friends Rat's paper route while Rat is at a farm visiting his grand parents.  The boy struggles with his stutter so much that he is scared for Friday to come around,  collection day.  

1:  Why is this book a good book to read ?
I think it's a good book to read because it can show people they aren't alone with their stutter problem.
2: What do you think of the book and why ?
I think the book is great because it doesn't get boring at all for me but I'm not sure about other people.
