I reside in Bradenton of Manatee County, Fl. This town is what I would describe as semi-big. Its not a major place but it has it's perks. Here we have beaches, beautiful parks, and new home of the Bradenton Marauders.
Manatee county has a very nice scenic highway. Traffic is easy to deal with. Not many hold ups or delays. Its only certain times there are hold ups.

For students to post their pictures on their blogs can create concern. However for students to use photos of themselves would have to be when the topics are appropriate to match the picture. Other appropriate times to use pictures is when they are discussing things about them and who they are. Even when displaying work there would be times to pose with the work. This would be appropriate because it wouldn't be randomly posted. The picture would have a theme and give support. It leaves out the chance for a mind to wonder about.

I own a black 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis LS. I recently purchased it for 2 grand at an auction. At first all I can think about was a four door truck or SUV and a Ford Crown Victoria. That's all I had my focus on. I knew the the two were basically the same vehicle just different brands. The Grand Marquis rides pretty smooth. It's runs quick and bold. Thanks to the V8 engine for this big car.
When I purchased the car I was kind of hesitant about it. That when away with our first drive on the highway. I found I fell in love with it. I would use my cruise control on trips longer than 30 minutes. Cruise control is a great invention on cars. The only thing I'm not to happy with is my rear suspension. To me it sits to low or it's not at stock height. Even with that flaw it still rides smooth. Bumps don't bother the car because the LS versions come with handling packages. Which explains smooth sailing.
Usually when I see cars I see a potential for enhancement. With my Marquis I've started to put my enhancements into motion. When I first bought the car I had a new stereo installed. Recently I purchased a new antenna (old one was broken off) because I was unable to listen to the radio. Currently I'm researching for 18 to 20 inch rooms. The rooms have to be all black or black and chrome. They also have allow the car to look sporty. Another addition to the car would be either two screens for the head rests or just one flip down screen in the middle where the dome lights are. Next thing would be to re-tint the windows (black of course). Last for now would be to find marauder tips for the exhaust. The engine is strong so I would now just wait to add parts and performance to the car. For now I would just take good care of it.
My blog should be visited because i offer my up most opinion on different subjects. Through my writing I stick to reality. As much I can though. As I learn more about blogging things will turn out a lot more interesting. I plan to make my web page as attractive as I can. I can achieve this by adding a background that's appealing. also by personalizing it a lot more with pictures video and maybe sound.
Since this is a class blog I will be posting on books that we read in class. A lot of my posts are what my teacher finds. Sometimes we have a free blog. From reading my blog you could learn how I think on certain matters and figure out my mood.
Blogging Challenge #1
We recently watched 2 videos in on driving and safety. One video stressed about the dangers of texting and driving. The other pointed out seat belts. Both the videos were able to put out there message clearly.
The video on texting and driving was brutal. It was able to point out the dangers. Show everyday life. Then showed the showed the effects of it. It wasn't very touching.
The video on seat belts took a very opposite approach. It showed a more touching side. The scene seem to be about family. It was the message was meant to say wear your seat belts to see your family another day. The little girl in this video was wearing butterfly wings. Maybe to symbolize life or an guardian angel?
I personally liked both videos. I thought the one on seat belts was used to touch the audience. The one on texting and driving was to horrify the audience to not text and drive. I believe the texting and driving video was a lot more affective.
A reporter arrives in town, and starts asking the inhabitants odd questions.
"Would you think the weather would kill an elephant in a corn field?", "How tall was the monster?", "Would Brittany Spears bring sexy back?" The townspeople only looked at each other curiously. They had no answers for this strange reporter.
And yet, the reporter kept on. "How many oranges can fit in the empire state building?" A little boy answered "As many as you would like".The reporter found that the town had a giant ant problem. One girl responded "This assignment makes no sense." A man asked the reporter "From where do you come from?" The reported pointed down the road and said "That way." Then the reporter suddenly asked "How much ant bait is used in the sewers?"
Suddenly, from one of the storm drains, a huge ant appeared and grabbed the reporter in his mandibles and crushed him to bits. Miraculously his voice was still heard. No one knew where it came from and how. A dog picked up his vocal chords and ate them, and his voice was never heard again. The end.

We have been taught in school. About anyone can tell you that there is something that the teachers can do better according to what they teach. I believe that teachers should know what they are teaching and doing. The lesson should be understandable taught with interest. Teachers should have a lesson plan that can make an impression on the student(s). Don't bombard the pupil with work after work. Go above and beyond to make sure the lesson is taught.
When your in a classroom you expect to learn or at least that's what I think. The instructor should not only have an idea but fully understand what they are presenting to their class. The key points of the lesson should be pointed out. The general idea should be fully expressed. In doing the instruction their should be an interest in what is taught if not a passion. I believe that if the teacher shows this interest it would make an impact on the student that they are teaching something worth the time to listen.
The lesson being taught should also be made understandable. Not everyone is going to be at the same speed. If there are notes involved be informational in bits. The work shouldn't be bombarded. Set deadlines and post them up so everyone knows what is expected. Go above and beyond to show that you really care about them passing or becoming successful. After all they are probably the next generation that will determine where this country is headed. If they aren't educated correctly things will not change for the better.
